Did you get an answer?

No, I got the controller but not the game so I can confirm that, maybe I buy it next time that got discounted, but I will feel disappointed if not work because is very different feel to turn stick versus move to the sides

I have the same curiosity. I am surprised no one has tried this all these months later.

I don't know how the joystick works but if windows sees it as mouse it will work. A regular arcade spinner, which win11 sees as mouse works fine for me.

No mouse sensitivity slider in game though iirc.
