# GameInput for hardware developers

> GameInput for hardware developers

The following articles cover a variety of topics to help hardware developers ensure that their devices work well with GameInput. Hardware developers should start with the [GameInput Device Mapping Tool and Testing Guide](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/input/hardware/input-hardware-mapping.md) to onboard their device into the API and validate functionality. The following articles cover the specifics for each input modality.

[GameInput interface requirements](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/input/hardware/input-hardware-interfaces.md)

Describes how to create devices that enumerate through the many GameInput interfaces (Controllers, Gamepads, Flight Sticks, Arcade Sticks, Racing Wheels, UI Navigation Controller).

[GameInput force feedback requirements](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/input/hardware/input-hardware-force-feedback.md)

Describes how to create GameInput force feedback devices.

[GameInput haptics requirements](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/input/hardware/input-hardware-haptics.md)
