A human interface device (HID) driver provides the interface between a bus driver, such as a universal serial bus (USB) driver, and an interactive input device, such as a keyboard, mouse, or joystick.
The Windows Embedded CE HID driver architecture is based on the Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices specification. The Microsoft HID driver implementation is not limited to USB devices. For more information about this specification, see this USB Web site.
