I'm looking at tutorials no how to read from the playstation sixaxis controller over usb and it seems the in general you should look for a file object in /dev/input. I'm developing on OSX and this directory doesn't seem to exist and i cant fine any information on an equivalent. Does OSX have a similar mechanism for reading from usb devices?

Also try searching SO for `[osx] [usb]`, see if any of those questions help. – Barmar Oct 24 '13 at 15:52

1hm.. just found this question - as it is exactly what i need too - e.g. differentiate two usb-keyboards in OS X (in Linux as `/dev/input/...`). Wondering - do you found some solution? – clt60 Jun 14 '17 at 12:00
