help on button box?

Bought one of these:

My PC recognizes the device as Arduino Leonardo, which I can see the Device Manager as working. But in iRacing, it doesn't detect any inputs when I try to program the buttons. Also the Arduino is showing as a keyboard, not a game controller.

I did install the Arduino IDE kit and I was able to connect to the unit by choosing the right port (it shows a popup showing the board details, including the Arduino Leonardo board type). But when I tried to do Serial Monitor it says couldn't connect.

Also weird is that if I open Notepad, and press the buttons a bunch of times, it will change the cursor from flashing to frozen, and then if I hit my keyboard buttons, those inputs appear and the cursor is flashing again...

Any ideas on how to debug/get it working?
