I replaced the stub sentence. The article before read it is about only usb devices, no, I have a few usb devs that have /dev/input/event* files but also hardware like common keyboards have their own file there.

kernel docs read: evdev is the generic input event interface. It passes the events generated in the kernel straight to the program, with timestamps. The API is still evolving, but should be useable now. It's described in section 5.
