xinput only deals with X11.

Wayland can use Xwayland to run X11 software, but they live in their own little X11 world. You probably have some Wayland-native programs and some X11 programs running


you can list running X11 software with $ xlsclients.

There are a couple suggestions there to remap things. I haven't used input-remapper myself, but I've heard positive things about it. It's packaged in Debian trixie.

    Maybe this will help you?

    Idk about xinput, but my first assumption is that the reason it doesn't work in some apps is because of Xorg vs Wayland. An evdev based solution should work universally.
