Mice and Keyboards use the "Human Interface Device" (HID) USB class.

MIDI devices use their own special class instead of HID: http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/devclass_docs/midi10.pdf

Same as how printers or scanners aren't HID, MIDI is different enough that it needs its own protocol.



Oh I see, I forgot there were other classes.
