The new version is this one:I use the Scarlet Crush drivers. It hasn't been updated in a while but it works fine for me as is.
It's not the most straightforward thing ever though

It should be straight forward because all you have to do is install the drivers once.

It sends a ton of requests to China if I remember correctly.Maybe a little bit but it's not like that noticeable iirc
