where /dev/input/event4 and /dev/input/event5 are both Asus Keyboard. Because of that, the second one, which actually includes my key events, won't be recognized by sudo kbct list-devices

Is there another way to specify your keyboard event file?

@shawnanastasio pull request merge will be a good solution to this issue.
