## What it is
A Windows kernel driver and C library providing an API to intercept and control keyboard, mouse, and other input devices programmatically. It allows applications to capture, modify, or inject input events at the driver level.

## Use cases
- intercept keyboard and mouse input on windows
- programmatically inject keyboard and mouse events
- build input remapping or macro software
- customize input for accessibility needs
- connect and customize multiple input devices
- capture input for typing pattern recognition

## When to choose
- you need low-level, driver-level interception of input devices on Windows
- you need to modify or block input events before they reach applications
- you need to inject synthetic input events reliably for automation or bots

## When to avoid
- you target non-Windows platforms
- you only need simple high-level input hooks without driver installation
- you need a permissively licensed library for commercial use without purchasing a license

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, accessibility, windows
- platform: windows, cpp, c
- tags: input-devices, keyboard-hooking, mouse-hooking, device-driver, kernel-driver, input-automation, automation
