Every operating system trusts keyboards and mice by default. They have to. Without that trust, computers would be unusable.
That trust layer—USB HID—is one of the most powerful interfaces in computing.
Yet most people only experience it passively.
Programmable HID devices flip that model. Instead of reacting to input, the device becomes the input. Keystrokes, mouse movements, media controls—all generated intentionally, predictably, and ethically.
HackStar is designed to live at this layer.
Rather than hiding behavior behind closed software, HackStar puts HID logic directly into firmware. That means developers control when, how, and why inputs are generated. Timing, sequencing, conditions, and logic all happen at the device level.
This isn’t about misuse.
It’s about understanding.
USB HID is a core concept in modern computing, automation, and security education. HackStar makes that layer accessible without requiring a lab setup or specialized hardware.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how HID really works—or use it creatively—HackStar was built for you.
