I know what you mean, the throw is extremely short. But just as an option, I was wanting to get this to work.
In fact, the u360 throw is just short, if it were a bit longer, it would be sufficient in most games. I don't know why a lot of people rant and rave about this stick, to be honest it's not very good. A lot of flaws in it's design, use, etc.
But if anybody knew how to get this option to function, I'd appreciate it.
