An alternate solution, which I've use for a decade now, is *not* to do this in Pd, but to simply forward gamepad/joystick events over OSC:

Greetings,
My students are working on projects where they want to use game controllers with Pd.
We can currently get the hid object to run in Pd-extended on Mac OS High Sierra, but I would like to encourage my students to use a newer version of Pd.
Is hid available through a current library or is there an equivalent external that can provide the same functionality?
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all the help, everyone. It appears our problems with hid stem from trying to install it on a recent Mac OS (High Sierra).
In the meantime, I will look at joyosc and HIDIO as an alternative solution.
