[PD] hid vs. ddr gamepad

It could be a problem with [hid], but [hid] really just reports and  
translates events it gets from the OS.  I haven't seen any bugs yet  
where it wasn't reporting events that it was in fact getting from the  
OS, but there is a first time for everything.

In any case, getting the info from HID explorer will help to narrow  
down the problem.
