hidapi-py
hidapi-py provides Python bindings for the HIDAPI library, enabling interaction with HID-class USB devices.
Usage
You can use the hidapi_py module in your Python scripts (listing all connected DualSense controllers):
from hidapi_py import get_all_device_infos
print(hidapi_py.__version__)
print(hidapi_py.__hid_version__)
SONY_VENDOR_ID: int = 0x054C
DS_PRODUCT_ID: int = 0x0CE6
devices = get_all_device_infos(SONY_VENDOR_ID, DS_PRODUCT_ID)
print(devices)
Features
- Access HID device information such as vendor ID, product ID, and serial number.
- Communicate with HID devices using Python.
