Hi bityyp,

There is currently no way to differentiate between data from more than one device with the current driver. The best way to support this, currently, is to use RawInput or HID.

Any of our USB devices can be used with several other APIs rather than the APIs that we wrote. HID is a standard API that can be used without having to have an open window. RawInput is another API from Microsoft that works well with multiple devices, but requires a MessageLoop. See the examples provided on this forum.

You can also search the web for examples of programming to USB/HID devices.
