Up until now, I thought media keys weren't supported by 2Keys, as practical testing showed they weren't detected. However, as it turns out, media keys are logged to a separate file in /dev/input:
$ ls /dev/input/by-id/
usb-Logitech_Gaming_Keyboard_G810_166A37573236-event-if01
usb-Logitech_Gaming_Keyboard_G810_166A37573236-event-kbd
usb-Logitech_Gaming_Keyboard_G810_166A37573236-if01-event-kbd
The 2nd one in the list is what 2Keys watches, and this doesn't show any media keys. However, if we watch the first file, the media keys show up (but none of the other keys like the letters, Ctrl, etc)
Implementing this may be a challenge since 2 'keyboards' now have to be watched. Approaches include:
Async python, which is a pain error handling wise
Run 2 2Keys detectors (little worried about CPU usage with many keyboards)
Multithreading (don't know how to do this in Python)

Will likely require #5 to be completed first.
