No, each hardware device has specific drivers.
Hardware devices are devices like pen drives, DVD, CD ect!!
Typically, input devices, or peripherals.
Commands to hardware devices are typically sent by the operating system through device drivers, which act as intermediaries between the OS and the hardware. The application software also plays a role by issuing commands via system calls that the OS interprets and forwards to the appropriate device driver. This layered approach ensures that the hardware can be accessed efficiently and consistently across different applications.
The name of the program that lets your computer to communicate with hardware devices is call KERNEL. Kernel communicates between hardware and software of a computer and manages how hardware resources are used to meet software requirements

The three different types of hardware are input devices, output devices, and processing devices. Input devices, such as keyboards and mice, allow users to enter data into a computer. Output devices, like monitors and printers, display or produce results from that data. Processing devices, primarily the central processing unit (CPU), perform calculations and execute instructions to process the input data.
No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.
"Hardware devices" usually refers to such items as hard drives, ssd drives, optical drives, graphics cards, add on cards such as ethernet cards, usb cards, memory modules, and the list goes on and on.
A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.
pointing devices are: mouse,light pen & joy stick in computer hardware
Input Devices
I/O devices like Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Speakers are used to for the computer to communicate with the user. The Operating System uses software called drivers to interact with these hardware devices. Altogether, this is called the user interface.
