Clicking the keyboard layout widget switches one device, chosen by filtering the seat through UNTYPED_KEYBOARDS and then taking whichever survivor sits furthest through the layout list. That filter has to recognise every non-keyboard by name, and a laptop registers far more as a keyboard than it lists. On a Dell XPS 14, Hyprland reports ten keyboards and one of them is a keyboard. The filter catches three of the other nine, leaving vendor hotkey blocks (intel-hid-events, intel-hid-5-button-array, dell-privacy-driver, dell-wmi-hotkeys) and two HID endpoints ahead of at-translated-set-2-keyboard, which sorts last. Every click switches hid-sdw:...-consumer-control instead, so the label cycles convincingly while typing never changes. Device order is stable across polls, so it is deterministic rather than a race, and needs no pre-existing bad state. Switch every keyboard holding the same layout list instead, naming an absolute index. "next" advances each device from wherever it sits, so a seat that has already drifted apart stays drifted and merely inverts; one index converges it in a single click, and a seat in lockstep leaves the reading nothing to disagree about. Keyboards given their own kb_layout hold a different list and are left alone, since an index into this list would not mean the same layout to them. The evdev KEY bitmap would separate these cleanly - the real keyboard emits 167 keys, the pseudo-devices at most 19 - but hyprctl devices reports no capability information, so the switch is taken out from behind the name filter rather than the filter being lengthened.
