MFDs usable for other sims?

[Rhinozherous]

Hello! 

I am thinking about replacing my old thrustmaster cougar mfds with the winwings MFDs. I am only interested in the mfds, not the displays. 

But as I am able to use my cougars on DCS, Xplane12 and MSFS2020 without any problem (plug and play so to say) i wonder if this is the case for the winwing mfds also? 

Are they recognized by windows as a simple controller without any software interfering in the background or are they only for DCS and only with a software running in the background? 

Thank you!

if you mean the buttons they are just directx button devices so any sim that can see multiple joystick devices will see them as well
