I8042prt creates the function DO and attaches it to a physical device object ( PDO) created by the root bus driver. An upper-level device filter driver creates the upper-level device filter DO. Each class driver creates an upper-level class filter device object (filter DO) that is attached to a function device object ( FDO) through an optional upper-level device filter DO. The following figure shows the configuration of device objects for a Plug and Play PS/2-style keyboard and mouse device. Simultaneous operation of more than one device.Ĭonnection of a class service callback routine that a function driver uses to transfer data from the input data buffer of the device to the data buffer of the class driver. Plug and Play, power management, and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Generic and hardware-independent operation of the device class. Mouclass implements the Mouclass service and its executable image is mouclass.sys. Kbdclass implements the Kbdclass service and its executable image is kbdclass.sys.

Mouclass, the class driver for devices of GUID_CLASS_MOUSE device class Kbdclass, the class driver for devices of GUID_CLASS_KEYBOARD device class This topic describes the features of the following Microsoft Windows 2000 and later system class drivers:
WINDOWS KEYBOARD MAPPING REGISTRY SERIAL
A typical configuration consists of a PS/2-style keyboard operated through an i8042 controller, and a serial-style mouse operated through a serial port controller. The figure on the left shows a keyboard and a mouse connected to a system bus through independent controllers. The following figures show two common configurations that employ a single keyboard and a single mouse.

This topic describes the typical physical configuration of keyboard and mouse devices in Microsoft Windows 2000 and later. The following sections goes into details on the controllers.
WINDOWS KEYBOARD MAPPING REGISTRY DRIVERS
This section contains details on the class drivers themselves. Non-HID keyboards and mice can connect over multiple legacy buses but still use the same class driver.
