Hi Everyone,
The FTDI chips operate in only two modes. The first is as a serial port, in which the chip is seen as a standard serial port or virtual comm port. The second method of accessing the FTDI chips are through a DLL mode.  DLL mode is not an HID device, it's a hybrid specific only to FTDI and it has it's own set of problems.
If you want to use a simple HID device, yo may want to look at the Cypress EnCore II and PSoC Designer. PSoC Designer is a free tool which includes support for HID type devices. The first time you use PSoC Designer there is a learning curve. You could also use PSoC Express which will have USB serial support by the end of this month. That would allow you to implement a native USB inerface an then study PSoC Designer and implement a native USB device later.

Regards,
Oliver
