I downloaded this, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. It looks like it has presets for certain control inputs:

Really like the look of that design software Dcpmark only problem seems to be that you can only use one of 2 predefined templates and can't use your own custom measurements  :'( unless I'm missing something?

No, I think you're right! I can't figure out how to change the size, and neither will work for me either. Well, at least you can get precise measurements for trackballs, joysticks, etc.
