Description

A command-line tool for monitoring and querying Linux input device events. It helps diagnose keyboards, mice, touchpads, gamepads, and other devices exposed through the kernel input subsystem.

Use it when troubleshooting input hardware or verifying which events a device sends. It may need permissions to read input devices, and captured events can reveal sensitive keystrokes.
