Could you build this?
No Intercepting, separating, and routing Windows input events to specific background process windows requires low-level Win32 API hooks, Raw Input handling, and custom virtual device drivers.
What it would actually take: Building this requires C/C++ or Rust using low-level Windows APIs such as SetWindowsHookEx, Raw Input (WM_INPUT), DirectInput/XInput redirection, and virtual controller drivers (e.g., ViGEmBus). The hardest challenges are bypassing Windows' default single-focus model, handling game-level anti-cheat engines without being flagged as malware, and maintaining low-latency input virtualization across different graphic APIs (DirectX/Vulkan). This demands deep OS-level systems programming and driver development expertise.
