HID is an acronym for "Human Interface Device" and refers to anything that humans interact with - keyboards, mice, microphones, joysticks, graphics tablets, etc. > Here's the usbdevs output: > > addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC > addr 4: PSC 750, Hewlett-Packard > addr 3: USB Optical Mouse, A4Tech > addr 2: Synaptics WheelPad, Synaptics Inc. > addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC > addr 2: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10, Microsft > addr 1: EHCI root hub, NEC > Since the MS Wireless Optical Desktop is being detected correctly, I would assume that FreeBSD has the appropriate drivers for it.
