I do have to congratulate Mini Mania on slick packaging and good marketing. Some people certainly like the feel of the more aggressively mapped pedal, and the fact that they are able to sell these at this price is impressive. I'm sure there will be a Taiwanese knockoff hitting the streets in a year or two for $99.
This one from Blitz has two auto-learning modes: Blitz - Throttle Controller Full Auto Pro - Nengun Performance

I'd be disappointed if it didn't do some kind of instantaneous analysis on the throttle input as well.
