Big Button X360 controllers (WinUSB) and FreePIE

I am eyeing a set of four Big Button X360 controllers with the IR receiver (i.e. a Scene it? set) and I wonder whether it would be possible to add support for it in FreePIE. I have found this post:

As I realize that most likely it would be me who has to do it, and given that I have no experience in driver/plugin writing and very little in C programming, I hoped someone could have a look at the source given in the link and tell me whether it is feasible at all to interface a FreePIE plugin with the custom (WinUSB) driver.

I see there is also a WinUSB python wrapper, but most of it went over my head as well...

Thanks, but...

Sadly, someone has snatched the set (I am not even sure they knew what they were buying....). Well, maybe next time.

Also, another reason I was not so eager to buy them was that, if I understand correctly, the controllers do not allow for diagonals and for combined input (e.g. direction and button), which makes them somewhat less usable as game controllers...
