I hope nobody thinks I was trying to poison this thread, I'm ecstatic there's another offering on the market.  It's just that the first thing I did when I saw the product announcement was to compare the two for myself.  I figured it was sure to come up here anyway, so I posted my findings.

Andy- If you do implement a version with more axes, why stop at 8?  Folks buying the high-axis-count version are likely using another encoder (Ipac) for their buttons anyway, so why not max it out?  That would remove the need for multiple USB IDs, as nobody would be using more than one of these if they supported 24 axes!

And, Green is definately superior to Blue or Yellow- It has everything they have, all rolled into one. 

I don't want to hear about Red, though.  That would be comparing apples to oranges, and can lead nowhere.

Andy, are you planning on releasing a PS2 adapter anytime soon?

It is because many, many, many computers will randomly swap the order of identical USB devices on reboot. Try plugging in 3 or 4 of the suckers and do some reboots, and turn the computer on and off and such and you will likely find that they eventually end up listed in a different order to windows.

Even if your computer doesn't do that, a lot of them do. This problem drove me insane and caused me to tear up my hacked USB gamepads and buy my first I-Pac YEARS ago.

Thanks for this. USB IDs it is then...
Just out of interest, were you using Windows 98 at the time? There is a Microsoft document that states that this issue is something addressed in Windows but does not specify a version, although it is a recent doc. But of course not all Microsoft docs are 100% accurate hehe.
