I bought a intercom panel from a flight sim and while I originally intended to gut it and use a different board to take the inputs I was curious If I could use it as is but am unsure ow. Ive connected it to windows and it reports as a HID Input Device and in windows device settings It shows the proper name (ICS/VOX Panel CoPilot) however its listed under “Other” instead of “Inputs”. It uses a PIC18F4553 IC and connects Via USB-B. It also has some LEDs that are controllable but im not too worried about that ATM. Any Ideas on how I could Get this working as a regular input or if there are programs that can take read the HID and translate the inputs into actual inputs?

Ive attempted to force windows to install other Drivers, Ive tried using a couple programs like USB view to get more info in hopes that I could get something from that.
