[PD] Guitar Heroes controller

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

On a related note, I just bought one of these very nice controllers  
called a gametrak.  It is basically like two 3D joysticks but instead  
of sticks, it has strings which you can clip on to things to track  
them in 3D.  The cheesy promo video gives you a good idea of what you  
can do with it:

I used one that Jonas Hielscher let me borrow and I plugged it in and  
it just worked with [hid].  I just got the one I ordered, it is a  
"PlayStation 2" controller, I am not sure which Jonas' is.  But with  
mine, it shows up in [hid] fine, but I don't get any data from it.

Anyone know, is there something special about PS2 USB controllers?
