r"""A space-mouse controller for sending SE(2) commands as delta poses.
This class implements a space-mouse controller to provide commands to mobile base.
It uses the `HID-API`_ which interfaces with USD and Bluetooth HID-class devices across multiple platforms.
The command comprises of the base linear and angular velocity: :math:`(v_x, v_y, \omega_z)`.
Note:
The interface finds and uses the first supported device connected to the computer.
Currently tested for following devices:
- SpaceMouse Compact: https://3dconnexion.com/de/product/spacemouse-compact/
.. _HID-API: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi
