Is that the right test for some of these devices. Surely the question is "what devices can be meaningfully represented by the input API". The device range is always going to be quite large and people want to use the API because it means things just work. They can wire their home made surfboard unit and tilt sensors up to the PC and tuxracer just goes. They can wire pedals and a current meter to it and use it as the speed input in bzflag to simulate bicycle tanks etc..
