HID stands for Human Interface Device, a class of USB devices including mice, keyboards, joysticks and other input hardware.

HID is also the name of an Iyonix-only program from X-Ample Technology designed to facilitate the use of such USB devices on RISC OS. The program includes the following features:

  • Configuration of keys and scroll wheels on extended multimedia keyboards
  • Per-application control of the mouse scroll wheel (including horizontal scrolling)
  • Extended keyboard handling via Alt-key combinations
  • Joystick support
  • Keyboard control of music player applications such as DigitalCD

HID is sold by X-Ample Technology, who are the company behind the long awaited Impression X.

HID is unrestricted shareware and costs GBP10 to register.
