Hi,

thanks for this awesome project!

A thing that has always bothered me about Steam Input is that you can't use all axes simultaneously, because everything is being mapped to XInput. Although the controller itself offers many analogue axes, you can ever only use a few of them at the same time.

Direct Input is much less limited, which is why most flight oriented hardware uses Direct Input.

Feature Request: allow openpuck to translate the Steam Controller 2 signals into Direct Input.

Does https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/pull/200 get you what you need? I'm flying (teehee) pretty blind here so will need some testing.
