Why doesn't it work?  Did you download the drivers?

I have the first version (Plus, not Plus II) and I don't notice any lag at all.

yep, tried all that. It recognises it at first and then stops - i can't actually use it at all. The company blamed it on my PC and said they asked the makers what was going on, didn't geta reply, and then i just forgot about it - i've just written it off as one of those things.
Just recently i started thinking about it again and found a different adaptor so thought i'd like to try that.

Seems a little sleazy to me. What are they doing with the USB port that's so weird that a motherboard has problems with it?
