I'm mostly concerned that the api seems to be vastly different than the 
api for keyboards, even though both devices have multiple buttons.

I also have some doubts that devices are going to nicely use the desired 
single keycode for this function, and thus libinput users are going to 
be forced to try a whole set of keycodes to find the one that works.
