Description

I have tried to compile the SDK with support for Sixense (Razer Hydra controllers) however it fails due to a missing interface header (isixense.h). To clarify, the Sixense SDK on steam doesn't include this file at all. Could this file be added to the public SDK? I assume its somewhat up-to-date as the current version of TF2 still supports the controllers.

Thank you for considering this issue and the continued support of an otherwise obscure accessory.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SDK compilation with Sixense support and locate the include that requires isixense.h. The issue does not name a source file or test; done means the public SDK contains the missing interface header and compiles with Sixense support.
