That arch page is really handy.  So for sure you can do your #2
requirement, but I'm still not sold that these can do #1.

However, it must be possible, as how would you map different keys to 2
different joysticks (for example) if you can't differentiate between
input devices.  I'm probably fretting over nothing and these programs
will make life easy.

And a GUI too!  If it works, what luxury!

What I'm happiest to see is that evdev underpins wayland too!  I have
quite a few bugs & mods in the evdev code base over the years to support
my circa 2000 IBM ball mouse.  It would be a shame to have to repeat all
of that work just for wayland.
