Thanks, that worked. Is there a way to get chuck to list the hids present, like --probe does with audio interfaces?
No, sorry. What you can do, however, is for mice, keyboards and joysticks iterating from 0 to -say- 10 and trying to open the device with this id and polling for its name when successful. That would get you similar functionality, at least for the 3 types of devices that we support. As the OS accepts the device the device should report the number of buttons, continuous controllers, leds, etc that it has. I'm not sure whether you can ask it for that again later. Another limitation that we have (like most other systems) is that we don't support hid-out to set leds or force-feedback (or whatever kind of feedback your controller might be equipped with). That is not a huge issue as not so many devices support that in much depth. On the downside; if few systems support it not so many device makers will be motivated to add a lot of that.... Yours, Kas.
