Is there an alternative to xinput on wayland?
I realised one of my gnome-shell-extension does not work properly due to the fact that xinput gives limited information about the devices under wayland (of course because it is written to work on xorg).
xinput --list
on xorg:
â¡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Logitech Performance MX id=10 [slave pointer (2)]

â â³ HID 046a:0023 id=15 [slave pointer (2)]

⣠Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

Now my question: Is there an alternative with similar features on wayland?
Current system is Ubuntu 17.10 on Dell Latitude 5580
