<p>
Extenders will require a custom file as there are no combinations listed

There are currently 5 devices preconfigured to work with extenders.
Two of them are for one master and one extender with the master on the
right side or master on the left side. There are three presets for a
master and two extenders with the master on the left, in the center
and on the right. While these files will work for many uses there may
be cases where a custom device profile makes more sense.
The best way is to start with the *.device file that matches your
master device and copy it
to a new name such as xt+mc.device and then edit that file. It is best to
name the file with the order the devices are expected to be used in as
the position of the master device is specified in this file.

The <code>Name</code> value should be a unique name so it is obvious
in the list of devices.
</p>
<p>
The <code>Extenders</code>
value is the number of extenders used and should not include the master in
that number.
