I have the T-Rudder and it's box, a Gladiator K, and some time in the future one of the TECS variants.
I think I can plug the pedals into the stick and have them as an axis there... I remember trying it briefly when it all came in.
Also, as far as I know the higher tier gear plugs via the black box and the connectors there.
How will TECS fit in there?
It's not an issue to have 3 or more separate USB devices, but any optimizations are welcome

I'm aware of the 32 button limit, so will the TECS follow the base + grip principle of the K/NXT?
