Trying to get raw HID working to get vim modes to trigger qmk events and layers.
On the computer, write a program (the "host" or "server") that talks over the raw HID protocol. It is open ended how you do this, but IME both the Python pyhidapi and C hidapi were simple enough to get something started. The trickiest part might be getting the program to run with the permissions to talk the raw HID protocol (at least on Linux, there was some udev rule to set up). Read the documentation for these libraries for details about how to get set up.

Has anyone figured out a way to detect what mode you are in, in vim, using qmk?
now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the next step for building my own host. Am I supposed to put this test file in my qmk code? or run it on my computer as it's own separate program? https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/blob/master/hidtest/test.c

FFI and Dynamic Arrays
I used ffigen to get the bindings from hidapi.h and cleaned up quite some of the resulting output to make it Dart compatible. Quite some typedef and some minor stuff.

Joy con input help
I figured out the problem with JoyconLib! The hidapi.dll file was broken so I replaced it with a new file from https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/releases and not it's working.

[Desktop] Small tool for Logic Keyboard (Windows/macOS/Linux)
Inspired by https://askubuntu.com/questions/699138/logitech-k380-bluetooth-keyboard-make-function-keys-default and https://github.com/libusb/hidapi, it's almost re-implementation of hidapi actually, with dart:ffi calling the syscall directly.

GameCube to USB-A
I don't know if this would be any use to you. When working on some node projects I would use https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid to interface non-standard usb components. Maybe there is something there to help you, I would be really surprised if gamecube controllers runs a usb protocol native, I was always led to believe it was a proprietary serial connection - unlike an original xbox controller which used a USB protocol but with a unique plug.

is there any way to switch layers by whatever application is in focus?

WIP Custom Macro pad with extra knobs. Pics/Vid in comments.
Its not currently available on github but will be soon. The current app I am building is a combo of javascript and typescript using electron js for making the actual app. I'm using the node-hid library for handling receiving and sending those messages. https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid
