I use a HID device under OS X using HIDAPI.
HIDAPI uses the native OS X HID API. No need to use a kernel extension
or ask a driver to release my device.

I do not need libusb to use a HID device on OS X.
The same is/will be true on Linux using hidraw (instead of libusb) in HIDAPI.

I understand a multi OS HID API is needed. I don't see why it should
be _IN_ libusb.
Isn't it possible to provide the HID API _above_ libusb?

Can't HIDAPI be the multi OS HID API?

Note that I have no idea of the Windows situation regarding HID and libusb.

Bye
