Connect Buttkicker to Simhub over USB

[ltcars]

Hi, I'm looking to get the Buttkicker Gamer Pro, as I have heard great things about it. I have however one question. Can you control the Buttkicker with SimHub over USB or do I need to use a soundcard? I read, that in the Hapticonnect Software you can choose between Audio or USB, but didn't get a definitive answer on SimHub.
Thanks in advance!

Terminology matters:
- Buttkicker Gamer Pro is a transducer, requires some sort of amplifier.
- BUTTKICKER GAMER PRO -1 (sold out) included their BKA-PRO amplifier

.. which had USB input.

Meanwhile, SimHub ShakeIt can send haptic signals to Windows audio playback devices, except audio channels dedicated elsewhere by Windows.

Sorry, I meant the Gamer Plus. So this one

According to this review, BKA-PLUS amplifier is recognized by Windows
as a sound device and should work with SimHub.
