+@code{libevdev}, taking advantage of @code{libevdev}'s advanced event
+handling.  Documentation is available at
+@url{https://python-libevdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/}.
+@code{libevdev} makes it easy to:
+@itemize
+@item read and parse events from an input device;
+@item create a virtual input device and make it send events;
+@item duplicate an existing device and modify the event stream.
+@end itemize
+For information about libevdev, see:
