# ADB sendevent - press multiple keys at the same time, control the duration of each event!

Take a look at the video to see what the code below does:

### Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.9.13 / BlueStacks 5
It should also work with any rooted Android device, but
since my cell phone is not rooted, and I have no intention of rooting it,
I cannot test the module against a physical Android device.
(I would be grateful for any feedback)
