Steam Deck alternative keyboard
The Steam keyboard is quite lackluster, has no Ctrl/Alt/Win/etc keys, and Valve wouldn't make one for some reason. I am starting this project to provide an alternative, open-source onscreen keyboard for the Steam Deck with dual touchpad support.

The controller is exposed via hidraw, which can be found via sysfs. The
hid-steam driver is responsible for making this work. I'll try opening the device directly and see what happens.
Hm, the device outputs something if opening via cat, but my application outputs nothing for some reasonSo
cat does work but your code doesn't seem to?
That's odd, what are you writing this in? Rust?Yes I am writing this in Rust
I am trying to read the character device file but it only reports mouse movements for some reason
Some people told me to send a HID command to disable the "lizard mode"
