 SUMMARY="Library for Interfacing with HID-Class devices"
-DESCRIPTION="HIDAPI is a library working with multiple platforms for
- interfacing with HID-Class devices through USB and Bluetooth. (On Haiku, it only works with USB). "
+DESCRIPTION="HIDAPI is a multi-platform library which allows an application to \
+interface with USB and Bluetooth HID-Class devices on Windows, Linux, and \
+macOS. While it can be used to communicate with standard HID devices like \
+keyboards, mice, and Joysticks, it is most useful when used with custom \
+(Vendor-Defined) HID devices. Many devices do this in order to not require a \
+custom driver to be written for each platform. HIDAPI is easy to integrate with \
+the client application, just requiring a single source file to be dropped into \
+the application. (On Haiku, it only works with USB)."
