I'm guessing (the information on Logitech's site is sketchy) that this will show up in Windows as a DirectInput device, like keyboards, mice, and Joysticks. The Good News is that LabVIEW does have the ability to identify and read USB-connected Joysticks that use DirectInput. The Bad News is that LabVIEW only seems to pick up the first 8 or so connected devices (and it is very easy to have twice as many on your PC, as running the DirectX diagnostics will reveal). In particular, I've been able to see some Joysticks, but rarely a GamePad.
There is an Idea on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange (that I wrote) asking NI to provide access to all of the discovered DirectX devices. The code and "hooks" to use these devices are already built into LabVIEW -- NI just needs to give us access to all of them, rather than just the first 8 (or however many they currently return). The link to this request/Idea is http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Allow-Query-Input-Devices-to-return-all-available-Devi..., and I urge you to go there and "Kudo" this Idea. If "Ideas" like this do not receive support in the form of Kudos, they are "declined" ...

P.S. -- it is OK to ask your colleagues who use the Forum to also Kudo this idea, if you agree with it, of course ...
