Methods

OnRawEvent

OnRawEvent(callback: (event: HidEvent) => void): void
Registers a callback that fires on every raw HID report from vendor-defined devices. Only events from usage pages ≥ 0xFF00 are delivered. The script enters an event loop and stays alive as long as this handler is registered.
Parameters
- callback: (event: HidEvent) => void
  Handler receiving a HidEvent for each raw HID report.
Returns void
Remarks
USE CASE: Macro pads, foot pedals, and custom HID controllers that send vendor-defined reports. Standard keyboard (usage page 0x01) and mouse events are NOT delivered here — use Keyboard.OnRawEvent or Mouse.OnRawEvent.
Example
```
HID.OnRawEvent((e) => {
// usage_page >= 0xFF00 guaranteed
Console.Log(e.device_name + ": " + e.raw_hex);
if (e.raw_data[0] === 0x01) {
Console.Log("button 1 pressed");
}
});
```

GetDevices

GetDevices(): HidDeviceInfo[]

Returns a list of all enumerated HID devices currently registered for raw input.

Returns HidDeviceInfo[]

Example

const devices = HID.GetDevices();
devices.forEach((d) => {
Console.Log(d.product_name + " (page: 0x" + d.usage_page.toString(16) + ")");
});
