Windows 10 HID driver functionality

Question

Is there any feature in the Windows 10 HID driver that enables a device to access the computers clipboard? I cannot find any mention of this in the documentation but it seems plausible it'd be a supported feature given the abundance of KVM peripherals on the market. I asked this in the git repo for the driver documentation (https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs/issues/2385) but was sent here.

Answer 1

Hi,
I’m afraid there isn’t a direct message on this:

Might need to look for third-party solution.

Best regards.

Try this Microsoft/TechNet link for clipboard.

Answer 3

No: HID device drivers are under the layer of input stack, which don't have awareness & access to the clipboard.
