Title: A controller question
Post by: j500ss on November 20, 2016, 07:37:03 PM

Probably a silly question, but this does have me wondering.  When I go to control panel and click on devices my controller for the game show up, ok that is good.

Now say I click on my stick, I get a general tab and a hardware tab.  If I click the hardware tab I have a choice of HID-compliant, or USB Input Device.

I have CH controllers, they are all default it seems to HID, but they are in my mind USB.   What's right?  What exactly is HID?

Thanks  :salute
