APPENDIX A. KEYBOARD USAGE ID DEFINITIONS
This appendix is from the following document foniversal Serial Bus
HID Usage Tables, Version 1.12 and specifically for this manual, Section 10, Keyboard/Keypad
Page (0x07).
KEYBOARD/KEYPAD PAGE (0X07)
This section is the Usage Page for key codes to be used in implementing a USB keyboard. A
Boot Keyboard (84-, 101- or 104-key) should at a minimum support all associated usage codes
as indicated in the “Boot” column below.
The usage type of all key codes is Selectors (Sel), except for the modifier keys Keyboard Left
Control (0x224) to Keyboard Right GUI (0x231) which are Dynamic Flags (DV).
Note
A general note on Usages and languages: Due to the variation of keyboards from
language to language, it is not feasible to specify exact key mappings for every
language. Where this list is not specific for a key function in a language, the
closest equivalent key position should be used, so that a keyboard may be
modified for a different language by simply printing different keycaps. One
example is the Y key on a North American keyboard. In Germany this is typically
Z. Rather than changing the keyboard firmware to put the Z Usage into that place
in the descriptor list, the vendor should use the Y Usage on both the North
American and German keyboards. This continues to be the existing practice in the
industry, in order to minimize the number of changes to the electronics to
accommodate other languages.
