# Create a custom device layout

You can override auto-generated layouts to resolve issues such as when controls don't receive proper names specific to the device, or if a control doesn't work as expected.

When you set up a custom device layout specifically for your device it overrides the default auto-generation and gives you full control over how the device is exposed.

You can create a custom device layout in the following ways:

* [Use an existing C# `InputDevice`](hid-create-custom-layout-existing.md)
* [Create your own `InputDevice` class](hid-create-custom-layout-class.md)
