Let me see if I understand this correctly. 
A configuration is the same as a configuration?
Each CSV file Contains One Profile? 
Each profile just one spreadsheet with Multiple Tabs at the bottom?  
Each of those tabs is a Mode switch?  

A hard sip/puff on the side straw cycles through Profiles?
A soft puff on the side straw cycles through modes?
Does a hard sip/puff set it so a person can change profiles moving the joystick left and right?

For Windows PC, can I set a mode so, for instance, pushing the joystick up causes as if a press of a certain letter on the keyboard?  I want to use this Quadstick in Second Life and move in Second Life by pressing certain letters on the keyboard. 

In one of the newer Zelda Nintendo Switch games can I do the following.  Can I makes it so moving around on Zelda use moving the joystick inner directions and make camera angles be with outer joystick movements?  

Thank You for making such a robust product Fred!

so first 3 questions are yes, long hard sip on the tube activates mode switch left and right changes it and the lip locks it in. single sip/puff on the tube switches modes not soft. it is sent to you with a default profile usually always the 1st one and mode 5 is keyboard and mouse which u can change the keys already assigned. for zelda or any game really u can use a default profile like a switch one you can assign delay latch to left joy up/down on mode 3 so you can auto walk forward/backward so you move wherever you look.

I suggest watching the series of tutorial videos and reading the Configuration section of the manual.   Most of your questions will be answer there.

An online spreadsheet is converted to a CSV file that is loaded into the quadstick.    A game is usually played using a custom spreadsheet for the game.
A spreadsheet contains multiple sheets, accessed via tabs in the user interface.  Each sheet corresponds to a "mode".  
By default, a mode is selected using short hard sip/puffs on the side tube.   The change is instant.
An entire configuration file is selected using a loooong hard sip on the side tube.  It can take a few seconds to switch to a new configuration file.

Very confused now.  The Manual says, Files are selected by that means.
