help
Say Y here if you want to connect USB keyboards,
mice, joysticks, graphic tablets, or any other HID based devices
to your computer via USB, as well as Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) and monitor control devices.
You can't use this driver and the HIDBP (Boot Protocol) keyboard
and mouse drivers at the same time. More information is available:
<file:Documentation/input/input.rst>.
If unsure, say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called usbhid.

config HID_PID
bool "PID device support"
help
Say Y here if you have a PID-compliant device and wish to enable force
feedback for it. Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is one of such
devices.
config USB_HIDDEV
bool "/dev/hiddev raw HID device support"
depends on USB_HID
help
Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptible Power Supplies.
This module supports these devices separately using a separate
event interface on /dev/usb/hiddevX (char 180:96 to 180:111).
If unsure, say Y.

tristate "USB HIDBP Keyboard (simple Boot) support"
depends on USB && INPUT
help
Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
to use the generic HID driver for your USB keyboard and prefer
to use the keyboard in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.
This is almost certainly not what you want. This is mostly
useful for embedded applications or simple keyboards.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called usbkbd.
If even remotely unsure, say N.
config USB_MOUSE
tristate "USB HIDBP Mouse (simple Boot) support"
depends on USB && INPUT
help
Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
to use the generic HID driver for your USB mouse and prefer
to use the mouse in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.
This is almost certainly not what you want. This is mostly
useful for embedded applications or simple mice.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called usbmouse.
If even remotely unsure, say N.
