Nothing on the official list matches. If your instrument is not listed, it may still be added later.
RedOctane's launch announcement says PC supports more than 50 guitar controllers and 20 drum kits, back to 2006. The table above groups those by model and console version, so it has fewer rows.
"Not listed yet" is not "no". RedOctane calls its list a work in progress and keeps adding hardware after testing. "Dongle" means the instrument's own official wireless dongle; "adapter" means an extra adapter may be required.
The Kramer guitar, drum kit and microphones are sold in a version per platform. What each version also works on:
The Arcade 4-Lane (green, red, blue, orange) and Arcade 5-Lane (adds yellow, on two buttons) instrument types are built for gamepads and keyboards and play the whole band on one highway. All button mappings can be changed.
