HIDKeys - Readme.txt clarifaction

[Talib]

Hi

I need clarification on the following statement found in the HIDKeys Readme.txt

(4) NEVER use Objective Development's free shared VID/PID pair for HIDs. Since
Windows binds the driver by VID/PID, you would bind the HID driver instead of
libusb to the IDs.

I really don't understand this. I have to specify a PID/VID when compiling my code and as I understand correctly I am supposed to use VID = 5824 (=0x16c0) / PID = 1503 for my type of device (a non-mouse/keyboard HID device), which VID/PID am I then suppose to use?

[Talib]

PS And if for instance I do make a keyboard HID, which VID/PID should then be used?

I would use one that has not been used by anyone if you are just experimenting

look at this
