Just an update. Bought PC/Mac version of Guitar Heroes III today. Looks like the controller is an Xbox 360 version since the logo is smack on there. Can't seem to get it recognized with [hid] on OS X, but was able to get hidin help patch to recognize it. a bit of garbage in the information it was spitting out, but the main buttons work nicely. Any idea why OS X pd extended is not recognizing the device? Maybe I'm not setting it up correctly.

I found something on this page about Guitar Hero + Max/MSP. He says
the Xbox version works fine with a computer while the PS2 version
needs an adapter. The adapter looks like it is for adapting a
different plug type, though, not for plugging in a USB PS2 controller.

On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers
called a gametrak. It is basically like two 3D joysticks but
instead of sticks, it has strings which you can clip on to things
to track them in 3D. The cheesy promo video gives you a good idea
of what you can do with it:http://www.in2games.uk.com/corporate/press-item.php?pressid=5
I used one that Jonas Hielscher let me borrow and I plugged it in
and it just worked with [hid]. I just got the one I ordered, it is
a "PlayStation 2" controller, I am not sure which Jonas' is. But
with mine, it shows up in [hid] fine, but I don't get any data from
it.Anyone know, is there something special about PS2 USB controllers?

Should just be HID protocol. Check the help patch for the [hid]
object (in Extended or self-compiled) and see what parameters come in. After that, enjoy mapping them to something and rock out!d.

I've seen some developments with the Guitar Heroes controller on Max/MSP. I've been unable to get the one patch I found to really
open in PD. I'd love to try to do something with it. Anyone has any
experience developing and working with the Mac/PC version of the controller
in PD? Any tips would greatly be appreciated.-- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/ macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 71: "Fill every beat with something"
