>From what I understand from <https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/blob/master/doc/quick-guide.md>, there can be per-device keyboard layouts, but they are not handled by XKB options. If a device specifier were added to the keyboard-layout constructor, the device specifier would need to be turned into appropriate xorg.conf MatchUSBID or similar. Regards, Florian
