Is there an API in .NET (C#) for using USB HID (human interface) devices?

---

HidLibrary wraps up all the P/Invoke calls for you. But no, it doesn't look there are any nice framework APIs for dealing with USB devices.

---

Here's mine little library for dealing with HID devices.

It might be useful, especially when you are trying to communicate using raw HID reports. I've also included a simple demonstration of how to use it.

---

There's nothing direct or high-level. There are some things you can do through the managed WMI API, but I've personally found a lot of WMI interaction with hardware to be cryptic at best and requiring a lot of trial-and-error to get it to do what you want.

Someone on The Code Project has developed a .NET component for USB HID you can try out that's probably going to fit the bill better than WMI.

I would suggest you follow this example instead. It was invaluable in getting me up and running with HiD dev in C#.

I suggest you start here: http://wiimotelib.codeplex.com/

Try looking at this: Simple HID Library. The main page has a list of other open source libraries.

Take a look at this library on Google Code:

I was also searching for it. I'm using the code I found here: http://janaxelson.com/hidpage.htm
