No problem, how about this: /sys/class/input/ |-- input0 | |-- event0 | | `-- dev | `-- mouse0 | | `-- dev |-- input1 | |-- event1 | | `-- dev | `-- ts0 | | `-- dev |-- mice | `-- dev `-- interfaces |-- event0 ->·../input0/event0 |-- event1 ->·../input1/event1 |-- mouse0 ->·../input0/mouse0 |-- mice -> ../mice `-- ts0 -> ../input1/ts0
