HID Class (Human Interface Devices)
This the class for most input devices, such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, tracker ball, touch tablet, laser pointer, etc. Any device that can emulate either a keyboard or a mouse is supported natively under RISC OS.

Most USB keyboards and mice will probably work under RISC OS 5. The list below just shows some devices that have been reported by customers to behave correctly. Other devices may work correctly too.

 
 
Keyboards (some combined with another device)
Below an overview of some devices known to work well on the IYONIX pc and RISC OS 5. Please note that some devices may contain multiple interfaces, in which case only the first one is shown here. Not all devices are supported natively by RISC OS in which case you need a HID driver. If you want to use the extra keys on some keyboards, or if you want to use a scroll wheel, you also need the HID driver.

We need your help
In order to keep the list above up to date, it is important that you report any new devices to us. Even if the device is currently not supported by the USB software, it is important that we know of any new devices, so that we can update our databases. When reporting a device, it is important to tell us the full class name (e.g. 8_6_80), the Vendor ID, the Product ID and a brief description of the product. Please mark clearly if the device is currently being supported by the software.
