Adding udev rule to access /dev/uinput as user in Arch Linux

[arilebedey]

Since I found a way to add the needed udev rule on my system, I figured I'd share it here.

Create file in /etc/udev/rules.d/, for example 01-uinput-permission.rules, with the following content:

SUBSYSTEM=="misc", KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="uinput"

Create /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf with:

uinput

(trick found here)

and

reboot

NOTE: I also happened to create the uinput usergroup, and adding my user to it beforehand, which could've helped as well.

Good point, I'll add some docs or link the arch wiki once I have some time to work on this again.
Thanks! 👍
