Actually, thanks to a standard (USB human interface device class) most any controlling device should work with the USB Chicklet. The only problem would be how the chicklet chooses to map all of the possible channels in an HID device to it's limited number of channels, but the standard does exist. "Proprietary drivers" are often required for unusual functions that require an extension of the standard, and those 'extras' wouldn't work with the chicklet.

But have no fear, the selection of usable joysticks won't be extremely limited thanks to standards! Yay standards!
