indicates the device uses a composite USB configuration with multiple interfaces (e.g., keyboard + mouse + extra keys). 2. Which Device Is This? (VID 1EA7 PID 0066) Sharkoon is a German manufacturer of PC peripherals. The PID 0066 corresponds to the: Sharkoon Skiller SGH1 or Sharkoon Light² 100 series? Wait — not exactly.

Let’s break down what this hardware ID means, why it appears, and how to resolve related driver or device recognition issues. 1. What Is VID_1EA7&PID_0066&REV_0200&MI_00 ? This string is a Windows Plug and Play hardware identifier for a specific USB device. Each component tells you: (VID 1EA7 PID 0066) Sharkoon is a German
This is a valid hardware ID. It contains amp; — an HTML entity for & . Correct ID should be:
After analysis, this string likely originates from a — specifically VID_1EA7&PID_0066&REV_0200&MI_00 — that was corrupted when pasted from a system log, a website URL, or a browser’s developer console. The amp; fragments suggest the & symbols were HTML-encoded.
