I prefer variables to be declared at the narrowest scope in which they're used.

I think it's simpler to use kIOHIDVendorIDKey with get_device_property_long().�� Judging by the HID Calibrator code, kIOHIDManufacturerKey is not reliably available, but kIOHIDVendorIDKey should be.�� It's also pretty fundamental to USB/HID.

Better to format vendor and product IDs using "0x%04lx" since that's how they are usually represented (e.g. within HID Calibrator windows and System Profiler).�� (Yes, I realize that Copy_DeviceName() which I cited previously formats them as decimal.)
Thanks for persevering in the face of my picky-ness. :)
