# InputDeviceCharacteristics

> A set of bit flags describing InputDevice characteristics.

## Definition

* **Type:** Enum
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.XR](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/xr.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.XRModule

```csharp
[Flags]
public enum InputDeviceCharacteristics : uint
```

## Remarks

The XR system combines the **InputDeviceFlags** members into the [InputDevice.characteristics](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/xr/inputdevice/characteristics.md) bitmask to describe the characteristics and capabilities of an input device. You can also pass a bitwise combination of flags from this enumeration to [InputDevices.GetDevicesWithCharacteristics](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/xr/inputdevices/getdeviceswithcharacteristics.md) to get a list of devices with specific characteristics. For example, you could use the following to get the right-hand controller:

`(InputDeviceCharacteristics.HeldInHand | InputDeviceCharacteristics.Right)`.
