Pd object for getting data from USB HID devices
[hid] is a Pure Data object for reading data from USB HID devices like
keyboards, mice, joysticks, gamepads, keypads, and all sorts of other
esoteric controllers like USB knobs, touchscreens, Apple IR Remotes, etc. It
represents the data with a cross-platform message scheme which is then
translated to the underlying native API for input devices (Linux input.h or
Mac OS X HID Utilities).
