I do a bit of embedded work.

SDA and SCK/SCL normally refer to the two-wire I2C protocol, which is definitely not USB. USB controller ICs cost good money because the manufacturer has to register a VID/PID combo as mentioned previously by other people (not to mention the protocol is quite complex). I would say RandyT is bang on; these are not USB game controllers, they simply use the USB plug hardware to trick people.

Still waiting on mine.  This thread is making me regret the purchase, however.

If the controllers are not USB and the unit comes with only 1 controller...why have 3 more plugs?  I suppose they might sell the controllers separately (didn't check), but that's likely to cost nearly as much for 3 more + shipping as the GameBox from DX did in the first place.   :dizzy:

Why have a second thumbstick on the controller that doesn't have any electronic guts, but still moves around like a functional thumbstick?  Different question, but likely the same answer. :)
