Hi Pedro, You needn't integrate the new device in an OSG centric way at all, you can just poll the device yourself in your main loop and then do what you want with it.
Potentially you could integrate it on an OSG centric way to make use of the existing manipulators, and I've done this in the past to make a joystick work with the standard manipulators. The way to do it is to call one of the osgGA::EventQueue methods to adapt your events. One can pass in custom event i.e you own subclassed from osgGA::GUIEventAdapter, but you only need to do this is you want to an extra variables. The Viewer and GraphicsWindow both have an EventQueue that you can insert events in by. Robert.
