    I am a paid user of your app. I am trying to use it in a game running on MacOS (Big Sur, M1). Now the game is not able to detect the key presses from the remote. It is actually a windows game running via CrossOver on MacOS. I suspect it is because of the way you are "tapping" into HID key event pipeline. I found a way around it by simulating a keyboard using this (https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-DriverKit-VirtualHIDDevice). Now this is a virtual HID driver which simulates a keyboard. I have a sample app which can simulate keypresses.
