please refer to nRF Desktop for official Nordic application for HID in nRF Connect SDK:

Hi,

IRQ39 is for USB, and the reason for the error is that by default the nRF52840 Dongle board files use USB for logging. You can disable logging over USB by adding this to prj.conf, and the project should build:

CONFIG_LOG=n
CONFIG_CONSOLE=n
CONFIG_BOARD_SERIAL_BACKEND_CDC_ACM=n
CONFIG_USB_CDC_ACM=n

PS: The hid-keyboard sample comes from the Zephyr project and while included in the nRF Connect SDK as part of Zephyr it is not officially supported by Nordic.
