device that is meant to allow humans to interact with a computer. Usually
\, HIDs are mice \, keyboards \, joysticks \, tablets \, gamepads \,
etc. There a number of unusual HIDs \, like the Griffin PowerMate on
the low end \, or the SensAble PHANTOM 6DOF on the high end.;

"DOF" stands for "degrees of freedom". A degree of freedom is one dimension
in which that HID can give information. A mouse generally had 2DOFs:
X-axis and Y-axis \, though a wheel could be considered another DOF.
-The PHANTOM 6DOF has six degrees of freedom: X \, Y \, Z movement \;
-X \, Y \, Z rotation.;
