We do currently design the game around the Xbox360 handheld controller (and with a set of keyboard commands/controls to use when an Xbox controller isn't handy). With the Microsft XNA software in the middle of 5th Gear that is pretty easy to do.
We have not (yet) rearranged the code to make it easy to use other devices. We do know that it will be useful; but it hasn't happened yet.

PS: The more times we hear students need something added, the higher that requested item rises in our ToDo list.
