As for less parsing, one of these days, I'll get around to making the OS-specific versions of [hid] which will just dump the data straight out from the OS without any cross-platform concerns. That might help with the sensor setups.

yes, but only the parsing inside the hid object .... inside the os, it is still parsed. for continous controllers that might not be a big problem, but when it comes to single bits, as for buttons and led's, things become more complicated, and thus cpu-intensive.
for modern computers that is no problem at all, but we should think about small, portable devices (like a pda) also.
maybe there is a way to grab the data packets from hid devices _before_ they get parsed by the os? but then, using libusb seems the better way.... and that is available for linux, os-x and windows so far ....
