Which fits perfectly ;)

No.  keyboard, mouse, tablet, joystick (with limitations, force feedback
support isn't there).  Pretty much anything which will show up

Don't have a oasis account, so yes, would be great if you can do that
for me.

applying for membership myself probably is not the correct way to do it?
