Background

During my work on a personal graphics library (SML), I ran repeatedly into issues with WM_INPUT. To quickly test input on different systems, I put together a quick and dirty C++ Windows desktop app that was really only meant for myself. While reading up on the topic of WM_INPUT, I realized that this tool might be useful for other folks who struggle with the quirks of WM_INPUT, so I sat down and polished it a little to avoid completely embarrassing myself. So, here we are, enjoy RawInputViewer.
