Sorry, I re-read my comment and I wasn't trying to argue against you, just how messed up the OSes are and that everything is basically a stack of hacks, even the "good stuff".

I like that you prototyped it in Python first. I wonder why it didn't work? Python function call overhead?

It would be neat if there was a cross platform USB HID muxing and translation layer that used Wasm for all its logic, then the "fixups" would be portable.



I didn't do a ton of debugging before giving up and switching away from python, but I think that at least some of it was issues with the event loop and cost of serialization introducing latency.

Yeah, I think some of my irritation with the situation bled through there, lol, didn't mean to come off as aggressive. I also lament the absence of a common input standard of some sort. WASM or the like would be a neat common layer; I feel like it's a good target for embedded scripting and module systems these days.
