nefarius/ViGEmBus
4,188View on GitHubViGEmBus is a Windows kernel-mode driver and USB HID emulation framework that creates virtual gaming peripherals. It functions as a virtual gamepad driver that the operating system recognizes as physical hardware devices at the kernel level. The project enables kernel-level hardware mimicry to bypass game-specific device requirements and supports remote input redirection, allowing controller data to be sent over a network to a remote machine. The system covers a range of capabilities including USB game controller emulation and game input automation, which allows for the recording and playbac
This project provides a Windows kernel-mode driver and framework specifically for emulating USB HID gaming peripherals, making it a specialized tool for HID driver development and device emulation.

3,612View on GitHubOpenTabletDriver is a user-mode graphics tablet driver and USB HID input manager that translates raw USB input from digitizer hardware into system cursor and pen events. It serves as a hardware abstraction layer that normalizes input from various tablet brands into a consistent API, providing a cross-platform pen interface with pressure and tilt sensitivity. The project distinguishes itself through a plugin-based architecture and a profile-based configuration system, allowing for custom filters, interpolators, and persistent hardware setups. It includes specialized tools for hardware driver d
OpenTabletDriver is a user-mode HID input manager and driver framework that provides cross-platform abstraction, USB HID report parsing, and device emulation for digitizer hardware, making it a highly relevant tool for interfacing with and developing HID-based input solutions.

libusb/libusb
6,085View on GitHublibusb is a cross-platform user-space library that provides a consistent C API for discovering, configuring, and communicating with USB devices from applications. It abstracts operating-system-specific USB driver details behind a single interface that works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and other platforms, enabling developers to write portable USB code without platform-specific knowledge. The library supports both synchronous and asynchronous I/O models for USB transfers. Synchronous operations block the calling thread until a transfer completes, offering a straightforward sequential programming
This library provides the essential cross-platform abstraction for communicating with USB devices from user-space, making it a foundational tool for interfacing with HID devices even though it does not handle kernel-mode driver development directly.

1,882View on GitHubThis project provides a framework and toolset for developing memory-safe kernel-mode and user-mode drivers for the Windows operating system. It enables developers to build drivers using safe programming patterns that prevent common memory errors and system crashes, while providing the necessary infrastructure to interface with low-level hardware and system APIs. The framework distinguishes itself by offering procedural macros and binding generation tools that translate complex C-style system headers into idiomatic, type-safe code. It includes a custom global allocator designed for the strict
This repository provides the necessary bindings and abstractions to develop Windows kernel-mode drivers using Rust, serving as a foundational tool for interfacing with hardware devices including HID.
