Description
Racing wheels (the ones I have tried have force feedback) are not detected as racing wheels but as GameInputKindController on PC (Windows 10). This appears to be a known issue, since the racing wheel sample isn't currently supported for PC (I filed an issue for the sample).
Starting with a minimal repro program, I can see that:
- My racing wheel is detected, but as the generic controller kind, not a racing wheel.
forceFeedbackMotorCountis reported as 0.
Meanwhile I had no problem running the DirectInput FFB sample on this computer and racing wheel.

Research direction
Start with the minimal repro described in the issue and compare its GameInput device classification and forceFeedbackMotorCount with the DirectInput FFB sample. Trace how the racing wheel is identified on Windows 10; done means a tested racing wheel is reported as GameInputKindRacingWheel with its force-feedback motor count instead of generic controller data.
