Uhm ... very interesting. Also, very clean and instructive code.

So, what I really need is a callback that handles the events and let me choose those interesting from those uninteresting.
With such a handler I can read all events passing through the device, correct?

Also, I think I see why I need such a listener: it wouldn't be possible to simply perfom a SendIO() with a CMD_READ set at IO_COMMAND offset of my IoStdReq. I would probably end up getting ... random data, I'd say, right? Not the input event I want, maybe I could intercept a mouse movement or whatever is passing through the input.device in that moment. right?

Maybe the CMD_READ is more targeted to reading from a serial interface?

Thanks for clarifying these points :-)
