The gasync (GIMX asynchronous) library is the evolution of the GE (GIMX events) library.
In addition to input devices, gasync also handles the following components:
- serial ports
- high-resolution timers
- USB devices
- HID devices
It also provides a default waiting interface based on poll on GNU/Linux and MsgWaitForMultipleObject on Windows.

- ghid is not based on hidraw because write() does not support non-blocking mode.
- Being based on libusb, ghid claims the HID interface and detaches the kernel driver. guhid is a uhid wrapper to allow connecting the device back with the kernel.
Windows implementation
| gpoll | ginput | gserial | gtimer | gusb | ghid | |
| MsgWaitForMultipleObject | Raw Input | libSDL * | COM ports | Waitable Timers | libusb | HID API |
- The libSDL events are processed synchronously.
