 From what I can tell with some google searches, it looks like HIDBP 
requires a working controller driver (which is what I was contending 
can't be stripped down), but skips over a lot of the bells and whistles 
in the HID layers in the device drivers for keyboard & mice. So it saves 
you some of the implementation cost.
