List Human Interface Devices using C#

Question

I am facing difficulty in figuring out how to list and access a device on PC, remembering that although the entry is USB it is recognized as a HID human interface device type mouse or keyboard.

Well I’ve seen several and several sites the most promising I found would be using a select with ManagementObjectSearcher then access the class win32 but I did not find any option in it that returns me Hids or at least I didn’t find the right shape.

Answer 1

For example:

If it’s to print the name of all USB locations of your computer would be:

System.Management.ManagementClass usbClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_USBHub");
System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection usbCollection = usbClass.GetInstances();
foreach (ManagementObject usb in usbCollection)
{

    System.Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}", 
        "HID".Contains((string)usb.GetPropertyValue("PNPDeviceID")), 
        usb.GetPropertyValue("name"),
        usb.GetPropertyValue("PNPDeviceID"));
}
