WCID is an extension of the WinUSB Device functionality, put forward by Microsoft during the Windows 8 Developer Preview and that uses capabilities ( Microsoft OS Descriptors, or MODs) that have been part of Windows since Windows XP SP2.Īs of May 2012, an automated WinUSB WCID driver is provided on all platforms starting with Windows Vista. As such, WCID can bring the 'Plug-and-Play' functionality of HID and Mass Storage to any USB device (that sports a WCID aware firmware).

WCID allows a device to be used by a Windows application almost as soon as it is plugged in, as opposed to the the usual scenario where an USB device that is neither HID nor Mass Storage requires end-users to perform a manual driver installation.

In Win10 –> Start –> type game controllers and open Set up USB Game Controllers. Note the blue color scheme is backwards on the TX16S as of fall 2020 (choose USB Storage to use USB Joystick mode, and vice versa). To check if the joystick is installed, connect the radio and choose USB Joystick mode. Posting this as a self-reminder, as Microsoft obnoxiously installs updates which frequently break the joystick driver for my Radiomaster TX16S, Frsky Taranis QX7 and X9D Plus radios.
