Hi!
So id like to take advantage of usb 3 in HID's but as I can understand, the example labeled cyfxusbhost has the following comment "This example demonstrates the use of FX3 as a USB 2.0 single port host. The example supports simple HID mouse class and simple MSC class devices."
Would it be possible to modify it for full superspeed?

Nick,
Yes, you can send to the host from the FX3 that the “K” key is pressed Via HID interface in USB 3.0 mode.

Hi,
FX3 cannot act as USB3 Host. So it is not possible to modify the example to make it a USB3 Host.
Regards,
Hemanth

with all due respect, then it riddles me that it says
High-performance Human Interface Devices (gesture recognition)
as a usecase in the manual for it, kinda misleading.
also digikey has it categorized as a host.

Yes, FX3 can act as USB 3.0 full speed Human Interface Device but it cannot act a USB 3.0 host.

FX3 can function as HID device - here is the example firmware (C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\firmware\hid_examples).
By the way, why did you refer the usb host example as said in your query?
Can you please give me an example - what kind of commands you want to send to PC?

Basically because I don't know better, this is the first time trying to
develop a usb device.
My major concern regarding this platform, is that I need to be able to send
hid commands using the Usb3 protocol, as usb2 isn't fast enough. The fx3
also serves as a decision point for an order of 20.000 units of the
cyusb3014x
If you can calm me down and say it's possible to send, for example a "k"
keyboard command using Usb3 protocol, I'll place an order for the fx3
immediately
