Is there an alternative to xinput on Wayland? I realised one of my gnome-shell-extension does not work properly due to the fact that xinput gives limited information about the devices under wayland (of course because it is written to work on xorg).
xinput --list on xorg:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech Performance MX id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech MX Master id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ HID 046a:0023 id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DLL07D1:01 044E:120B id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=17 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD: Integrate id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HID 041e:30d3 id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HID 046a:0023 id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Intel HID events id=18 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Intel HID 5 button array id=19 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=20 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=21 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Logitech MX Master id=22 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ HID 046a:0023 id=23 [slave keyboard (3)]
xinput --list on wayland:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:15 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:15 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ xwayland-keyboard:15 id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
Now my question: Is there an alternative with similar features on wayland?
Current system is Ubuntu 17.10 on Dell Latitude 5580
