Jog/shuttle dial

USB 1.1 interface

Featuring USB 1.1 interface, the VM Desktop integrates seamlessly with software applications supporting USB joystick inputs via Microsoft DirectX.  No device driver or manufacture specific SDK is required, the VM Desktop is recognised as a standard HID 4 axes/29 button “game controller” joystick.  The VM Desktop’s axes and buttons are programmable and function assignment is dependant on the controlled application.
