Does anyone have any experience working with these devices in windows? I'd like to try and integrate these into lessons at my day job as a teacher, and want to know if they are a viable option. I've got the 360 controller for windows, which i can use via XInput, but these seem to use their own USB, so i assume that there is some in game code to handle routing inputs, on top of or outside the standard wireless controller interface. I I'm looking for perhaps a link to an SDK or really any info anyone has on these.

There is no out-of-the box SDK for these controllers - you are thoroughly in custom-driver land.

Thankfully, others have done the legwork in that department. Try something like this article, which seems to have all the information you'd need.
