1 # HID support
3 A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that interacts
4 directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID" most commonly used to
5 refer to the USB-HID specification, but other devices (such as, but not
6 strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are designed using HID specification (this
7 involves certain keyboards, mice, tablets, etc). This option adds the HID bus
8 to the kernel, together with generic HID layer code. The HID devices are added
9 and removed from the HID bus by the transport-layer drivers, such as usbhid
10 (USB_HID) and hidp (BT_HIDP).
