Pimoroni Trackball with Raspberry Pi 4b (running Raspbian Bullseye) not working
Oh, that doesn't bode well. It seems that python-evdev may have issues in Python 3.9 for some reason.

Is there software for emulating controller with keyboard? Mostly interested because of the Steam Remote.
Or if you want to make something yourself, you can use some library like python-evdev that let's you create a virtual device you can control by listening events from another device.

Dynamic and persistent bluetooth keyboard passthrough with evdev
I found this issue on the GitHub repo for python-evdev which suggests that it is possible to get the bluetooth MAC for an input device: https://github.com/gvalkov/python-evdev/issues/81

Libvirt QEMU Hotplugging evdev devices possible?
I stumbled across https://github.com/aiberia/persistent-evdev that works around that problem by making evdev devices persistant. But this will be a problem with multiple VMs.

Dynamic and persistent bluetooth keyboard passthrough with evdev
I have a bluetooth keyboard (Kemove61M) that can also be attached with a USB cable. I got the cable passthrough with evdev to work, even persistently over disconnects while the VM is running with persistent-evdev. But when I want to do this with bluetooth, I can not find an easy way, because my keyboard does not expose a /dev/input/by-id/ file, only an event one, which changes at every reboot and reconnect.
- evdev forward doesn't work after (physically) reconnecting mouse/keyboard
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python-evdev and persistent-evdev you can also consider the following projects:
pynput - Sends virtual input commands
sway-keylogger - Simple keylogger for Wayland compositors that are not protected against ptrace.
MoltenGamepad - Flexible Linux input device translator, geared for gamepads
