For that reason we do use masks inside mir to describe input devices. We do
use a few additional masks to also indicate whether the device, i.e. it
might be interesting to know whether the device is a full keyboard or just
offers a few buttons.. So yes I aggree with that. Right now we do the evdev
based device detection in parallel to what udevd and libinput do..
