If I run hidd --search it says HID create error 13 (Permission denied)

If I run as sudo it connects fine.

I want this script to run on login. I saw how to edit sudoers, but will it create a security weakness if I add %MYNAME ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hidd

Is there a group I can add myself to that means I can run this command without sudo?

You can run it without a password by editing the /etc/sudoers file as you mentioned. One step further would be to append alias hidd='sudo hidd' to your ~/.bashrc file.

I don't know of any other way besides sudo.

If it needs root to run, I do believe groups won't help you. However, if it has a daemon running as root [Like wicd], groups might help you out, but I would tend to doubt it.
