FINALLY had a chance to test this on the last windows test build and working very nice, very appreciative of all the work you put into doing just this one feature!

Thanks for giving me a reason to implement the feature it was a huge task, but the code is much better off because of it.

Small thing to note, I couldn't get into System -> Input -> Driver settings -> Joystick, when I click on Driver Settings nothing happens, actually nothing seems to work on that screen atm

I just tested, and this works fine on my system.

Side question - does disabling DirectInput limit me in any way, such as adding different types of controllers... ?

Obviously it'll prevent the use of DirectInput controllers. XInput is the modern API, so stick with 360-style controllers. I have a logitech controller with a hardware switch that allows changing between XInput and DirectInput.
