Thanks for the library!

I am testing it on a raspberry pi and connecting it via vid and pid did not work. But using a HID path worked

    device = new HID.HID('0001:0009:01');

The path comes from HID.devices()

[ { vendorId: 10462,                 
    productId: 4418,                 
    path: '0001:0009:00',            
    manufacturer: 'Valve Software',  
    product: 'Steam Controller',     
    release: 1,                      
    interface: 0 },                  
  { vendorId: 10462,                 
    productId: 4418,                 
    path: '0001:0009:01',            
    manufacturer: 'Valve Software',  
    product: 'Steam Controller',     
    release: 1,                      
    interface: 1 },                  
  { vendorId: 10462,                 
    productId: 4418,                 
    path: '0001:0009:02',            
    manufacturer: 'Valve Software',  
    product: 'Steam Controller',     
    release: 1,                      
    interface: 2 },                  
  { vendorId: 10462,                 
    productId: 4418,                 
    path: '0001:0009:03',            
    manufacturer: 'Valve Software',  
    product: 'Steam Controller',     
    release: 1,                      
    interface: 3 },                  
  { vendorId: 10462,                 
    productId: 4418,                 
    path: '0001:0009:04',            
    manufacturer: 'Valve Software',  
    product: 'Steam Controller',     
    release: 1,                      
    interface: 4 } ]

It may be an issue of node-hid but to work around this could node-steam-controller allow overriding what is passed to HID.HID()?

Sorry hadn't checked up on this repo in awhile!

The best solution might be to have the code find the path itself. But I can add in overrides as well. Feel free to PR if you have good changes.

Will do, thanks!
