And supporting inverted axes in a game isn't exactly rocket science
either. More an oversight, perhaps.

Be careful.  Eye-Rolling can be tiring, and cause headache's too!

Because the list was too long, and all it takes is one.  I don't have time
to be swapping controller around when I want to switch games.

We should have left that nonsense behind years ago.

Here's the simple fact.

I just want my stuff to work without having to fiddle with it all the time.
I have little time for my ***, and when I do have time I don't want to
waste it fussing with controllers.

Just so you guys know, I don't have a damned thing against Logitech, except
their lousy pedal designs.  In fact, the WingMan software (while a little
spread out in the preferences department), is as good as it gets.

Microsoft could learn some lessons from them where it comes to controller
software design.
