An update: I was able to get the Guitar Heroes controller to work under OS X. From the post on Joystiq, they couldn't get the Xbox X-plorer controller that comes with the PC/Mac version to work under OS X either. They were using it with Fret on Fire. OS X sees the device but it will not work. This was my experience as well. I had to install the Xbox 360 Controller driver (http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver) and after setting that up, [hid] recognizes the device. I was able to test it, and everything is reading perfectly.
So have fun with your Guitar Heroes controller. I know I will.

Send the [print( message to [hid] and then look in the Pd window. You should see the devices it recognizes there. From that you can find the right device number to connect to in order to open that contorller.

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.

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?
