Support for InterAct PC PowerPad Pro SV-234. The pad itself is analog, but has some switchable modes. Here some specs:

  1. Analog jog/Digital direction pad (bottom switch)
  2. L button active/Analog throttle on right index finger (top switch)
  3. Autofire on all active buttons (middle switch)

The R buttons are doubled (right thumb+right shoulder), L buttons trippled (right thumb, left shoulder and on the bottom of the pad - used with left middle finger). The R and L buttons use the 3rd and 4th axis, the 4th axis is switchable for the analog throttle.

The original driver come with 2 devices: 3 axis+4 buttons (5 actually work) or 2 axis + 6 buttons. I did an all-in-one config. When L button active mode is activated don't use the 3 axis (as seen in the HID device, I switched 3 and 4 in the FW for convenience), when in Throttle mode don't use button 6. When switching the top or bottom switch it would be good to restart the adapter, then the calibration in the firmware does its job (there are some differences in the values).
