I'm making an application to run in the background on a salespoint to read input from a usb scanner.
How can I get the input of the scanner from C#?
And can I differentiate between the scanner and a usb keyboard? (Scanner is a HID device)

I did this successfully before using a “Raw Input” implementation on CodeProject:
It allows you to receive both the input (what “keys” are pressed if it mimics a “keyboard”) as well distinguish which device it came from.
