same, these are surfaced in python, but it's barely usable
device = uinput.Device([
uinput.BTN_LEFT,
uinput.BTN_RIGHT,
uinput.REL_X,
uinput.REL_Y,
])
device.emit(uinput.REL_X, 0)
device.emit(uinput.REL_Y, 0)
device.emit(uinput.BTN_LEFT, 1)
device.emit(uinput.REL_X, -100)
device.emit(uinput.REL_Y, -100)
