= Mismatch between documentations =
There is a mismatch between the old Win SDK (2.0), new Win SDK, and Mac SDK about the sign of axes of translation and rotation.

All documents state:
"The home position for the device is with the negative Z-axis pointing towards the screen."

In bold are the cases that match the above sentense (mostly old Windows SDK).
