"Thrustmaster Rage 3D ... a digital gamepad that's comfortable for large-handed gamers ... makes use of Thrustmaster's new DirectConnect technology which assigns controllers an ID, so that when the controller is connected, the driver will know which control panel to invoke. DirectConnect driver will also allow you to choose which controller (or controllers) you want to be active (gamepad, stick/pedals/throttle), and also allow you to configure them. DirectConnect devices will need little or no calibration. Rage 3D should be shipping now. - $46"
