This device sounds promising. Information about it:

I posted a question on their forum, asking if this device will accept inputs from flight sim controllers, such as my Saitek X52 set up. The following was another member's response, except I do not understand what "input API" is, or how I would determine what that is, with relation to my controllers.


We don't know yet. The device comes out in November, hopefully we will be given more information before then; if not, wait for reviews/compatibility tests. At a guess, it depends on the input API of your device, but I don't know enough about that kind of thing.

The "input API" would be the Application Program Interface (API) software that takes the input signals from your hardware and translates them into instructions that Windows (or Steam, or a game (FSX, for example)) can understand. Some hardware can interface already using the built-in Windows APIs for input devices (such as your mouse), but others may need their own software. And...that's about the extent of my knowledge.
