At the moment when an a Gravis Gamepad Pro USB is inserted in Haiku, it is
identified as a mouse in usb_hid. The fButtons, fXAxis and fYAxis already
have the correct information to use as basic joystick information for a
BJoystick, i have created a basic GamepadDevice and modified Joystick cpp and
have a Joystick working in Haiku. My question is, is it possible to modify
MouseDevice.cpp to not identify Joysticks as Mice, also how can I identify a
Gamepad using HIDReportItem, e.g it’s USAGE_PAGE is
B_HID_USAGE_PAGE_GENERIC_DESKTOP, but it’s USAGE is of type GAMEPAD . You are
right Enrique the usb hid in Haiku seems easy to use.

With current usb hid infrastructure should be an easy task. I've added support
for tablet devices, have to polish code a bit before upload the patch.

Here is some code that works on the original BeOS, the testjoy app
from usb_0.50 joystick driver works with this code, when this code is
compiled with the testjoy.cpp. Ignore the hack nature of the code as
it's been created by using the debugger and seeing how the original
BJoystick worked.
Both of your mails don't seem to contain a question, but I assume the problem
is that the Haiku BJoystick implementation and/or backend don't behave like in
BeOS R5, or aren't compatible with existing applications? I don't really have
an oppinion about whether it is worth to be behavior compatible, but the
BJoystick backend should definitely use the existing USB HID driver
infrastructure nowadays. IIRC, there was some discussion about how to achieve
this a while back, either in this list (search the archives), or within a Trac
ticket.
