This page contains a list of USB input devices (mice, keyboards, game controllers, etc.) that are known to be working well on Vampire boards that have a USB port.

To initialize a USB mouse or keyboard, the Vampire uses the “boot protocol”. This is the same protocol that was used by PC BIOS USB stacks before UEFI became widespread. Nowadays, with UEFI USB stacks available on most PCs, the old “boot protocol” is no longer necessary, so some manufacturers simply omit this protocol from their mice and keyboards.

For communicating with USB game controllers, there is no standard protocol. Every manufacturer's protocol can be different. The Vampire has support for most of these protocols, covering a substantial number of game controllers.
