Do you have any info on getting data from the SIXAXIS?  AFAIK, the  
SIXAXIS is not a regular HID device, because Sony wants to force  
people to pay a license fee to make Playstation controllers.  It's  
very close though.  On my tests, it didn't just work though.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.   
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and  
expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war  
on terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
