`uinput_device_paths` Kwarg does not work on Windows

[PowerBroker2]

Description Tried using uinput_device_paths Kwarg to listen to only one specific keyboard, but inputs from all keyboards are "listened-to".

from pynput import keyboard

def on_press(key):
    try:
        print('alphanumeric key {0} pressed'.format(
            key.char))
    except AttributeError:
        print('special key {0} pressed'.format(
                key))

def on_release(key):
    print('{0} released'.format(
        key))
    if key == keyboard.Key.esc:
        # Stop listener
        return False

listener = keyboard.Listener(
    on_press=on_press,
    on_release=on_release,
    uinput_device_paths=[r'HID\VID_34EB&PID_1502\9&167F9EC7&0&0000'])
listener.start()

NOTE: I also tried to specify the device path as just a string (not a list of a string), but nothing changed

Platform and pynput version Windows 11 and pynput 1.7.6.

To Reproduce Use two keyboards and try to only listen to one of them on Windows

Thank you for your report.

As noted in the documentation, uinput is a Linux based backend and thus does not work on Windows.

1. What documentation? I was only able to find this kwarg in a src docstring that didn't say anything about OS's. Not a big deal, just curious
2. Is it possible to add this feature for windows?

[moses-palmer]

The documentation describes the prefixed kwargs as non-standard platform dependent options. That may be a bit unclear in the context.

I have not found a way to detect the source of the event on Windows, so adding this functionality seems infeasible.
