There isn't a functional [hidio] for Windows. There is a bunch of
test sketchs. Plus it wouldn't work for mice or keyboards because
Windows blocks access to those devices with its HID API.
There is an old [hidin] for Windows that's included with Pd-extended,
but that won't get you mice/keyboards either. You need to use the
'raw input' API for that, IIRC.

Hello list,
I'm trying to develop cross-platform, but I can't figure out how to get [hidio] to compile on Windows. OS X and Linux were easy with that makefile! I only need mouse/trackpad and keyboard entry, and I like the format that [hidio] uses and the more complete key mapping. Is Windows [hidio] ready for these purposes? If not, is there anything I can do? If so, can someone either compile for me or (maybe even better) explain to me how to compile this on Windows?
Thanks very much for any help. I hope everyone here enjoys my eventual results when I share them. -Michael Scott-Nelson
