Wired Gamepads

So reading through the rules, the only ones I can find pertaining to this would be Rule G21, stating:
Quote:
G21
During AUTO, any control devices worn or held by the DRIVERS must be disconnected from the OPERATOR CONSOLE and not connected until TELEOP.

Violation: FOUL
Thus, are there any other restrictions on wired or wireless controllers? We were thinking between Logitech controllers, but are there any other suggestions on gamepads? What gamepads have worked out for other teams?

**Edit** So evidently I completely missed Rule 94, stating
Quote:
R94
Other than the system provided by the ARENA, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

(Blue box stating that Hybrid via Kinect is alright)
