Description
Problem
Some keyboards don’t work on certain consoles, such as the PS5, because they use an overly complex HID protocol.
Solution
It would be nice to have a mode where, by selecting a keyboard as the host and at the same time setting a keyboard as the input, the signal from one could be converted directly into the other.
What this would hypothetically do is convert any keyboard (for example, an NKRO keyboard with multiple complex HIDs) into a standard HID 6KRO keyboard to maximize compatibility, both with consoles and with older systems.
Looking at the code, I don’t think it would be difficult to implement.
Do you plan to work on this feature yourself?
I’m a developer, but I’ve never worked on this kind of project, although I don’t rule it out. I can help define the logic or the behavior.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing keyboard host and keyboard input handling, then define how a host keyboard should be converted into a standard HID 6KRO keyboard; done means complex keyboards work on consoles such as the PS5 through the new mode.
