Custom HID Devices

The Human Interface Device (HID) protocol started as a standard for keyboards, mice, and joysticks, but it is used by a much wider range of devices, including barcode scanners and magnetic stripe readers. In addition, HID was defined over USB, but it is now used over other transports, including Bluetooth and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C). The APIs for communicating with HID devices can be found in the Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice namespace.
