[Mono-dev] Looking for library to access HID/USB-Joystick from Mono

[James Bellinger]

Actually no, on Linux it uses hidraw only right now.

I was looking into doing a libusb implementation, since some versions of 
Debian do not
have a new enough kernel for hidraw. But, I haven't gotten around to it 
yet. There are P/Invoke
signatures for libusb in that code, just not a HID implementation on top.
