Problem:
The Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad and Joystick do not function when connected to the USB Nest. Changing the MODE does not help.

Solution: None, Incompatibility

There is no solution available for this problem. The USB Nest is designed for analog Joysticks and Gamepads only. Digital Joysticks like the Sidewinder and others do not work.
