The Human Interface Device (HID) protocol was first defined for input devices that connect to a computer via the universal serial bus (USB). These devices include, for example, keyboards, mice, remote controls, and buttons. The protocol itself is bus agnostic and has been ported across various transports, including Bluetooth and other wired and wireless technologies.
This protocol has been implemented on Windows 8 and later operating systems. For information about how to use this protocol for developing drivers in Windows, see Human Interface Devices Design Guide.
