The Human Interface Device (HID) Manager provides input and force-feedback capabilities for Mac OS X games. With the HID Manager, games can easily identify, configure, and use HID-compliant USB devices, such as joysticks and non-Apple displays. In Mac OS X, the HID Manager supports access to HID-class devices. For access to devices that provide tactile sensation to the user, developers can use the Force Feedback framework to define a programming interface that is functionally similar to Microsoft's DirectInput API.
