Tips & Tricks:

Sample Code:

int structSize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(RAWINPUTDEVICELIST));    
int bufferCount = 10;
IntPtr buffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(bufferCount * structSize);

int deviceCount = GetRawInputDeviceList(buffer, ref bufferCount, structSize);

for (int i = 0; i < deviceCount; ++i)
{
    RAWINPUTDEVICELIST device = (RAWINPUTDEVICELIST)Marshal.PtrToStructure(
new IntPtr((buffer.ToInt32() + (structSize * i))),typeof(RAWINPUTDEVICELIST));
...
}
