Human Interface Devices

Human Interface Devices (HID) are hardware tools that allow humans to interact with computers, such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, and touchscreens. They serve as the bridge between user inputs and the computer’s understanding, translating physical actions into digital signals. HIDs use standardized protocols so that computers recognize and respond to them easily. This interoperability makes it simple to connect and use different input devices across various systems. Essentially, HIDs are the physical means through which users command and communicate with digital technology, making it accessible and functional.
