    1313== Can I create a "driverless" device using HID class? == 
    14 Yes, sortof, but the device will only be really easy to access on Microsoft Windows (and Linux, if you can temporarily replace the driver, which libusb provides an API for). 
     14Yes, sortof, but the device will only be really easy to access on Microsoft Windows (and Linux, if you can temporarily replace the driver, which libusb provides [http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__dev.html#ga0bc7a17090debf6d2b2711c505ad9725 an API for]).

    1616It is important to remember that USB devices are never driverless, rather quite the opposite. Multiple kernel drivers are always involved: USB stack with USB core, USB hub drivers, maybe a composite class driver, and then ultimately a class- or device-specific driver. This is true for every operating system, and also when using libusb.
