Idea: use a hardware database to preemptively add many devices to this list #56

For each of the known manufacturers, we could look at some hardware database (e.g. linux-hardware.org) to find all mice and keyboard from that manufacturer. Then we can decide to add them all to this blacklist.

This could be good because people with those pieces of hardware won't have trouble (and because most people won't be able to find this repository). But this can backfire and we can end up disabling real features from those devices.

I'll leave this just as an idea for now.
