# HIDDeviceManager.DeviceMatchingCriteria

Matching criteria used to filter HID devices.

## Declaration

```swift
struct DeviceMatchingCriteria
```

## Mentioned in

Communicating with human interface devices

## Overview

Overview Use this class to filter the HID devices on the system using common properties, such as HIDUsage. All matching parameters are specified using init(primaryUsage:deviceUsages:vendorID:productID:transport:product:manufacturer:modelNumber:versionNumber:serialNumber:uniqueID:locationID:localizationCode:isBuiltIn:extraProperties:). Uncommon criteria not available as properties can be specified in the extraProperties parameter of init.
