+        Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
+        specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
+        devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
+
+        This module supports these devices separately using a separate
+        event interface on /dev/hidraw.
+
+        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.
+
+        If unsure, say Y.
