Maps input devices to (multiple) other (virtually, created) input devices. Supports cloning input devices and sharing them over the network. Very useful for applications and games that do not support certain input devices (like gamepads)

uinput-mapper

uinput-mapper maps input devices to new virtual input devices, using (as implied by the name /dev/uinput[1]).

[1] Or /dev/input/uinput depending on the OS.

Usage and Configuration

Configuration is done in Python; examples and other information can be found on the project website: http://hetgrotebos.org/wiki/uinput-mapper

Bugs

None that I am aware of, but if you find some please drop me a mail at http://wizzup.org. (You can find my email address there)

The configuration format is considered unstable (that is: open for changes) until I am satisfied with it. Although I currently have no plans to change it.

Library

uinput-mapper is more than just a input mapper. It allows transparent input redirection over the network and also has a nice python API for input and uinput on Linux.

linux_input.py

Python binding for linux/input.h ; somewhat incomplete. Included in uinput-mapper ; may be split later

linux_uinput.py

Python binding for linux/uinput.h ; not complete yet. Included in uinput-mapper ; may be split later

Development notes

Generating uinputmapper/uinput_gen.py:

gcc -E -dM /usr/include/linux/input.h | egrep ' (EV|SYN|KEY|BTN|REL|ABS|MSC|LED|SND|REP|SW)_[A-Za-z0-9_]+' | ( echo "#include <linux/input.h>" ; echo "input_constants_dict = {" ; sed -r 's/[^ ]+ +([^ ]+).*/"1" : 1,/' ; echo "}" ) | gcc -E -o /dev/stdout - | grep 'input_constants_dict = {' -A 100000 > uinputmapper/uinput_gen.py
