#wertarbyte/triggerhappy#31
Developer: ** @trurle**

Some input devices such as rotary encoders don't have keys or switches, but can generate EV_REL/EV_ABS events. this simple change allows these devices to be used with triggerhappy. I checked with my two rotary encoders and it works. thanks!

I checked encoder, works!
Thank trurle!
