Caps/NumLock state of keyboard (USB)

Hello!

I did some little DOS script utilities lately and try to make a key state utility.

Its quite easy to ask at least for the CapsLock state using keyboard.device, but this works for PS/2 keyboards only.

Is there any way to do the same for USB keyboards? Documentation is scarce on this and it seems that hid.fdclass feeds input.device directly, without replacing keyboard.device by a compatible device layer.
