Unity Native Plugin to expose DirectX DirectInput ForceFeedback

This package allows you to easily integrate both the input and ForceFeedback features of DirectX DirectInput from within Unity. This allows you to interface with HID peripherals with ForceFeedback capabilities. This can be used to build vivid simulated experiences.

The package will create a virtual device inside Unity's Input System. This device can then be used like any other device inside the Input System, allowing for easiy rebinding. ForceFeedback capabilites can be acceced via the DIManager class.

This package requires use of Unity's new Input System, ensure com.unity.inputsystem is installed in the project. Install it via the package manager via:

Window -> Package Manager => Input System

Next, install this package:

Package Manager => + => "Add package from git URL..." => https://github.com/MrTimcakes/Unity-DirectInput.git

This plugin only works on Windows 64 bit.

Unity Version: 2021.1.16f1

Occasionally calls to EnumerateDevices will take orders of magnitude longer than usual to execute (up to 60 seconds), this is caused by a Windows bug attempting to load an absent hardware device. USB Audio DACs & Corsair keyboards are known the cause this issue, try disconnecting and reconnecting offending USB devices. For more information see this StackOverflow post about the issue from 2012.
