title: What is the best USB library to communicate with USB HID devices on Windows?
body: <p>The library should;</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Be easy to use and few lines of client code should accomplish much</li>
  <li>Be as platform independent as possible. (In case of future ports to other platforms)</li>
  <li>Have C++ bindings.</li>
  <li>Be mature and stable</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I would also like to be notified of most HID events through callbacks.</p>
  <p>I have considered the following alternatives:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>libhid - (Unfortunately?) this is GPL and cannot be used in my application.</li>
  <li>WDK - Seems to be a bit low-level for my use. I don’t need that kind of control.</li>
  <li>atusbhid - This has an appropriate level of abstraction, but it is firmly tied to the Windows messaging loop</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Are there other alternatives to offer?</p>
