added "keyboard" and "mouse" by @boppreh to "Hardware"

What is this Python project?

github.com/boppreh/keyboard:

Take full control of your keyboard with this small Python library. Hook global events, register hotkeys, simulate key presses, and much more.

github.com/boppreh/mouse:

Take full control of your mouse with this small Python library. Hook global events, simulate mouse movement & clicks, and much more.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

This set of libraries offers much more functionality than those currently listed on awesome-python. They allow for complete management of all global key & mouse events.

Some features:

• global hooks - push all Key/Mouse events to provided callbacks - keyboard[KeyboardEvent], mouse[ButtonEvent, MoveEvent, WheelEvent]

• global hotkey registration - push only defined Key events to provided callbacks - left & right modifier keys are recognized separately

• input simulation - key chords, keypress sequences, mouse click/drag/scroll - allows custom delay

• macro recording & playback - capture keystrokes in realtime, play them back @ custom speed

• wait event - blocks thread until defined Key/Mouse events are received

While not fully cross-platform (OSX is currently listed as experimental), these are the best choices I've come across for anyone looking for full access to keyboard & mouse functionality on the Windows & Linux platforms.

Both libraries are also very well documented.
