  Anyone please help.

  I am trying to read raw data from the USB port. For example, I want to get the HEX for the USB mouse. This will help me write a program to get data for more complicated devices or data from biometric sensors attached to the USB.

  Kindest regards,

  VB

  To read the raw data from the USB port you will need to write a fully functional USB driver, or hook the host OS driver.

  From your post I cannot be sure which OS you are on, so I can't point you towards any real tutorials or other documentation that may be OS-specific.

  For writing your own USB driver to interface with USB devices, I can point you towards http://www.osdev.org/wiki/USB.
