# IGameInputDevice::GetHardwareVersion

> Gets the hardware version of the input device.

Gets the hardware version of the input device.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
void GetHardwareVersion(
    GameInputVersion* version
);
```

### Parameters

*version*   \_Out\_\
Type: [GameInputVersion](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/input/gameinput/structs/gameinputversion.md)\*

Receives the hardware version of the device.

### Return value

## Remarks

Not all devices report a hardware version. If the device doesn't report one, all members of *version* are set to 0.
