Sure it will. For performance reasons it doesn't do it automatically, but there's a "Show more details" link that will give you the same details you would get otherwise. And the cutoff for me at least appears to be more than 15.

If you're a keyboard addict and don't want to switch over to the mouse to click that link, just hit alt+enter and you'll again get the same info, this time in the standard Properties dialog instead.

You can already buy it from their website for 300usd (version without SDK). They don't have many applications yet, but there are few applications for typing and controlling your PC mouse. So, you can already use it to play any game.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the US. But I think that I would want it if it became internationally available.
