Some uses of uinput are not currently supported (for example, rumblers: #23, ff branch). Which, doesn't seem to be documented.

Adding to the documentation, a brief description of what is and isn't working, might help potential users anticipate whether python-evdev is appropriate for their intended use.

Here is a strawman draft:

Scope and status

All keyboard and mice events should work. Rumblers #23 currently do not work. Joysticks, touchpads, tablets, cameras, force feedback, and less common devices probably work / probably don't work / sometimes work / partially work / haven't been tested / are not supported.

Some characters, such as : (colon), cannot easily be generated from scratch #7. Translating them into UInput events would require knowing the kernel keyboard translation table, and there is no python equivalent of dumpkeys. Consider using PyUserInput instead.

Related projects include: python-uinput; uinput-mapper; PyUserInput; pygame.

Hello @mncharity and apologies for replying with such great delay. I added a short paragraph on the subject in 84f6b03.
