+#X text 5 117 When talking about HIDs \, "DOF" is often mentioned.
 "DOF" stands for "degrees of freedom". A degree of freedom is one dimension
 in which that HID can give information. A mouse generally had 2DOFs:
 X-axis and Y-axis \, though a wheel could be considered another DOF.
 The PHANTOM 6DOF device has six degrees of freedom: X \, Y \, Z movement
 \; X \, Y \, Z rotation.;

+#X text 11 369 Basically any device that is supported by the various
+HID layers on each OS is supported by the [hid] object. So any of those
+devices can be used as controllers with Pd. There already exists a
+number of objects for more common HIDs:;
+#X text 434 39 An essential detail to making an usable instrument is
+the latency between when you perform an action and the sound it produces.
+If the latency is too large \, it will make the instrument annoying
+to play \, or even unplayable. So the aim is to have as low latency
+as possible. To put it into perspective \, if you were playing an electric
+guitar and the amp was 3m (10ft) away from you \, there would be a
+9ms delay between when you plucked the string and when you heard the
+sound.;

+#X obj 90 528 linuxmouse;
+#X text 15 470 To get full access to some devices \, you need to use
+the platform-specific objects. The objects have dummy versions on the
+other platforms so that you open the patches on other platforms and
+edit them without breaking them.;
+#X text 5 254 These objects are quite simple to use \, but are limited.
+They only receive key events when Pd has focus \; they output alternating
+1s and 0s to represent auto-repeat \; [key] and [heyup] are limited
+to the 'printing' characters. [keyname] reports Shift \, Ctrl \, Alt
+\, Meta \, etc.;
