Why is the CSW V2.5 and the CSL E WB (PS4) detected as two (or even 3) devices on PC?

You might have seen that the ClubSport Wheel Base V2.5 or the CSL Elite Wheel Base PS4 is shown as 2 separate controllers in the game controllers window on you PC. If you want to enter the driver menu it does not matter which device you will click. In some other places you could even see 3 separate controllers for this one device...why is that?

The CSW V2.5 and CSL WB PS4 are so feature packed and well prepared for the future that it was just not possible to put all functions into one software USB device. The new electronics can control more axis, buttons, encoders etc. than one USB device can handle. This is why Windows will detect 2 USB game controller devices + one additional HID device as soon as one of those wheel bases is detected.
