I haven’t checked their technology yet but if their iteration speed is an order of magnitude faster than the competition my money is on them

Programmers aren't commodities as they aren't interchangeable, there are vast differences in outcome between different programmers.

To a good programmer most jobs offerings are commodities, they are interchangeable and their offerings/rewards/challenges are very similar.

Thus the developer you are interviewing is also interviewing you.

Everything you need is part of the standard Android SDK directional pad support, start/select buttons shoulder pad buttons and joystick support

An existing game can be switched to use the physical buttons with minimal work... This isn't a rewrite, more like connecting another source event to the functions that handle user interactions. I expect most games to need less than a couple of hours of work to support this device.
