Hello,

I'm working in a personal new project, using a stm32 to "simulate" a mouse. My specifications in this projects are:

  • 5 buttons
  • 16-bit x axe
  • 16-bit y axe
  • 8-bit wheel

I'm pretty sure that the 5 buttons and 8-bit wheel is HID compatible:

16-bit x and y axes are HID compliant? Or Do I have to develop a driver?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the in box driver should support a mouse with these characteristics. The driver translates the device reported data into a MOUSE_INPUT_DATA. If you look at this data structure, the X, Y, and ButtonData fields are all large enough to handle the data from your device. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ntddmou/ns-ntddmou-mouse_input_data
