how detect the presence of an usb game pad

In my script i need sense if an usb gamepad is attached to the USB port.

I tried the DRIVEMAP, but the gamepad is not a Drive and windows not assign it a letter.

thanks

I am not sure of the extent of which you plan on integrating the game device (HID) but RawInput should work for your needs

Is one of many examples (I think I might have posted a question about it in the past with a sample script. Specifically look into the functions _GetRawInputDeviceInfo I believe.

Good luck
