Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

~~> GameInput is a functional superset of all legacy input APIs—XInput, DirectInput, Raw Input, Human Interface Device (HID), and WinRT APIs~~
I think OP is already talking about this API
Which language, OS, or environment?
It's part of the Windows GameInput API. It's C++/COM interface.
Can't you use something more modern in C#? COM is a billion years old and it's the worst thing I've ever seen.
This is the newest input API for Windows. Apparently there's some C# binding, but it's still for the COM interfaces. Issue is, not everything is being documented in the official MS documentations.
