i typically use [hid] for such things.
- detach your device from xinput
xinput --listto get the name (and/or ID) of your devicexinput disable <id>(or <name>)
- get the device id to use with [hid]
lsusbto get the <vendor>:<device> ID (6th column; it's two
4-digit hexcodes, separated by colon), e.g. 045e:0084
3. use the ID to open the device with [hid]
- [open 0x045e 0x0084, 1(->[hid]
