I was thinking of trying to have an generic objects as possible.  For  
example for [hid], I was thinking of maybe [axis] and [button].  My  
original intention was to make general interface objects for things  
like arduino and multio, but I think that they might be two different  
to be able to do this well, especially if you throw in the MIDI-based  
ones like the miditron.

I will experiment with the idea tho, we'll see where it goes...
