| #### Cost of `HID.devices()` and `new HID.HID()` for detecting device plug/unplug | ||
| Both `HID.devices()` and `new HID.HID()` are relatively costly, each causing a USB (and potentially Bluetooth) enumeration. This takes time and OS resources. Doing either can slow down the read/write that you do in parallel with a device, and cause other USB devices to slow down too. This is how USB works. | ||
| If you are polling `HID.devices()` or doing repeated `new HID.HID(vid,pid)` to detect device plug / unplug, consider instead using [node-usb-detection](https://github.com/MadLittleMods/node-usb-detection). `node-usb-detection` uses OS-specific, non-bus enumeration ways to detect device plug / unplug. | ||
