| GameInputFamilyVirtual   | Represents a virtualized input device on the platform.          |
| GameInputFamilyUnknown   | Represents an unknown device family.                            |
| GameInputFamilyXboxOne   | Represents a device managed by the XboxGIP or XInputHID drivers |
| GameInputFamilyXbox360   | Represents a device managed by the XUSB22 driver                |
| GameInputFamilyHid       | Represents a generic Human Interface Device (HID).              |
| GameInputFamilyI8042     | Represents an input device connected via an i8042 bus.          |
| GameInputFamilyAggregate | Represents an aggregate input device.                           |

## Remarks

This enumeration is used in the [GameInputDeviceInfo](/reference/input/gameinput/structs/gameinputkeyboardinfo) structure. `GameInputDeviceInfo` is used by the [GetDeviceInfo](/reference/input/gameinput/interfaces/igameinputdevice/methods/igameinputdevice_getdeviceinfo) function.

For more information, see [GameInput devices](/build/core-features/common/input/overviews/input-devices).

| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **v3**  | **Added** `GameInputFamilyUnknown` (value 0). **Renumbered** `GameInputFamilyAggregate` from value 0 to value 5 following implementation of aggregate devices. |
| **v0**  | Introduced.                                                                                                                                                    |
