RAWKEYBOARD keyboard;
RAWHID hid;
} data;
} RAWINPUT, *PRAWINPUT, *LPRAWINPUT;

Remarks
The handle to this structure is passed in the lParam parameter of WM_INPUT.
To get detailed information -- such as the header and the content of the raw input -- call GetRawInputData.
To read the RAWINPUT in the message loop as a buffered read, call GetRawInputBuffer.
To get device specific information, call GetRawInputDeviceInfo with the hDevice from RAWINPUTHEADER.
Raw input is available only when the application calls RegisterRawInputDevices with valid device specifications.
