thumb wheel (GM2/GM3) or a rotary (X36/X45).

You can program the axes on your controller with keyboard commands. Generally speaking,

the main axes of a joystick should be left to work as an axis, simply because most games

detect these by default anyway. However, some games don’t support joysticks at all (so you

could then configure the stick to pretend to be a part of the keyboard) and this would allow you

to make the stick work in the game where otherwise it wouldn’t. GM2/GM3 and X36/X45

owners will mainly use the axis programming for the thumb wheel and rotaries.
