Some time ago I was asked about adding support for the G15 LCD display in JInput. It seems like a good idea, more devices are beginning to appear with programmable LCD displays. We are still waiting on the hardware, but this could be an interesting diversion .

On a related note. Over on the JInput forums, someone recently asked about supporting full force feedback, not just rumblers. It seems sensible, but I have no force feedback devices other than basic rumblers. A quick look the APIs in Linux and Direct Input (which is what JInput uses under the covers) suggest similarities that would make this reasonably painless. It seems from my limited research that OSX support for force feedback is provided by Immersion, but I'm not 100% sure.

What I could really do with is some hardware to play with and get things working, but that means spending cash, which is in short supply still. Guess I'll just have to muddle through working from API documentation, and just hope it all works
