Interesting. I'm running Win7 64-bit and it doesn't do a thing.
Just tested on 98SE. The first time it came up "Unknown Device" and the second time, it didn't even show up in the device list.
Then tested XP SP3. Gave the USB device has malfunctioned error.
One thing is certain....it's not a normal HID controller.

The OS never gets any of the USB info, so utilities which go about getting it in the same manner, won't be any more successful. I'm really suspecting that the ports on the front aren't USB. This whole "keymax technology-faster speed of game pad responsiveness" gives me the feeling that they are using a proprietary 2-wire interface to communicate with the gamepads.
The chip does have a couple of pins dedicated to USB Device 2.0, but those are probably connected more or less directly to the small port on the side.

I just cracked open the controller. Something kind of humorous...the right stick is bogus. I thought it was funny that it didn't click when depressed, like the left one does. Turns out, there is no switch, no pots, and it wasn't even soldered to the board :)
All of the buttons are common ground, so hacking it should be fairly simple. No convenient exposed pads for soldering, like on some of the gamepads out there. Still shouldn't be too hard.
And the board is labeled SDA and SCK where the wires attach, instead of the D+ and D- one would expect for USB. May or may not be significant.
