The thing is that you need to uninstall the kernel HID driver and
use the libusb-win32 device driver for this kind of HID device. This
significantly reduces the usability of libusb-win32 for HID device
under Windows. Yet many USB device disguise them as HID device
just to avoid writing a device driver.

Just wondering if it is possible to use an alternative backend
(Windows HID apli) and make libusb a wrapper on top of it.
I understand then it should perhaps be called libhid-win32 then.

By the way, will the new WinUSB based libusb-win32 solve this
issue?
