+	devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
+
+	This module supports these devices separately using a separate

+
+	There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
+	configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
+	the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
+	to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
+	userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
