Add Keyboard Only Option in Chiaki #322

Problem I want to be able to have chiaki running to hear friends in PS4 party while using controller to play PC game. The controller tries to control the PS4 through chiaki in the background making it impossible to play unless I am connecting to the controller through bluetooth. This means that when the controller dies I'm stuck waiting for it to charge before I can play with my friends again.

Solution Some option to turn a "force keyboard only" option on in chiaki. Or maybe an option to stop controlling the ps4 with the controller if the chiaki window isn't in focus.

Alternatives Using bluetooth which has its drawbacks as described above. I can successfully build chiaki on windows, but I do not know enough about the code to successfully remove controller support. If someone can explain how I could remove controller support before building that would also work.

Additional Context PS4 Remote Play also doesn't support this, but they have been getting requests to add a feature like this for a long time with no success.

Edit: I have successfully been able to remove controller support and build Chiaki for windows just to realize it doesn't support a mic. :(
