I think there is not enough innovation happening in the space of HID's. Both the software and the hardware are limited. Sometimes you see innovative keyboards, but they are not revolutionary because they always think they have to provide the legacy 10x-keys design. And software always expects to receive those keys, which is a huge problem.
In Steam Big Picture you can type with a gamepad if you go to the friends-chat-mode. Why is this limited to Steam Big Picture? This should be functionality provided by the system to be used by all applications. And applications should adapt the input layout and themselves depending on the HID that is being used.
I wish it'd be possible to use text editors with a 3D mouse or pedals and a camera, without having to invest a huge amount of time to make it work.
