This controller depends on the hidapi library.
On Linux you should install hidapi-libusb shared library in a directory
listed in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or in the conventional places (/usr/lib,
/lib, /usr/local/lib). This can be done either from hidapi sources
or by installing the libhidapi-libusb0 binary package on Debian-like OS.
On Windows you should put hidapi.dll shared library in the same directory
as the controller.
