How to code an application in Python/Wayland/Linux that uses multiple mice as distinct inputs?

I'd like to write an application that emulates jeopardy buzzers. There would be one host computer connected to N mice, which act as each player's buzzers. What would be the _simplest_ way to write this application in Python? An ideal solution would avoid tampering or creating new physical hardware. Options I'm considering: - I've heard USB devices are read by the OS as a plaintext stream somewhere. But where? - I could also bind each button to a different key, and just listen for keyboard events. Is it possible to bind right-click on mouse-0 to key-0, but right-click on mouse-1 to key-1? or do all right-clicks get bound to the same key? There are so many options, I am wondering what is the easiest? Also a lot of the reading I've done is specific to X11 (xinput this or xev that). How should one do the equivalent in Wayland?
