PLEASE NOTE! A NEWER VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT WITH EXTRA FEATURES WILL EVENTUALLY BE MADE AVAILABLE. THERE WILL BE NO UPGRADE PATH AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RELEASE DATE (please don't ask.) HOWEVER, THIS PRODUCT IS STILL AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR CONTROLLING 49-WAY JOYSTICKS IN ITS CURRENT FORM.

The GP-Wiz49 with DRS Technology (Digital Restrictor Selection (TM) ) is the ultimate solution for using a 49-way joystick on a PC and includes 23 additional digital inputs for use with other controls. 5 of the 23 buttons can also be "shifted" to make dual purpose buttons.

DRS Technology allows a single 49-way Joystick to take the place of dedicated 8-way, 4-way, Diagonal and 2-way joysticks. A special 16-Way mode has also been included.

DRS Technology doesn't require special drivers or config files.

The joystick mode can be selected at any time. Just hold the Joystick Mode button
and press the button associated with the desired mode of operation.

Available modes are:

Raw49 - Normal 49-way operation.
Progressive49 - Allows for finer 49-way control
8way DRS - Restricts joystick output to Vertical, Horizontal and Diagonal directions.
4way DRS - Restricts joystick output to Vertical and Horizontal directions only.
Diagonal DRS - Restricts joystick output to Diagonal directions only.
2wayH DRS - Restricts joystick output to Horizontal directions only.
2wayV DRS - Restricts joystick output to Vertical directions only.
16way DRS - Restricts joystick output to Vertical, Horizontal and Diagonal directions, plus directions in-between.

Additional Features:

23 additional inputs, including 5 that are "shiftable", for conventional Joysticks, buttons or similar switch based devices. (in Manual and Software Modes. Rotary Switch/Jumper mode disables "Shift-mode" buttons and provides 15 usable buttons)
