Would that be 12 characters per press/release?

	sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h defines:

/*
 * Common event structure (used by keyboard and mouse)
 */
struct wscons_event {
	u_int           type;
	int             value;
	struct timespec time;
};

/* Event type definitions.  Comment for each is information in value. */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_KEY_UP             1       /* key code */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_KEY_DOWN           2       /* key code */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_ALL_KEYS_UP        3       /* void */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_UP           4       /* button # (leftmost = 0) */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_DOWN         5       /* button # (leftmost = 0)  */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_DELTA_X      6       /* X delta amount */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_DELTA_Y      7       /* Y delta amount */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_ABSOLUTE_X   8       /* X location */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_ABSOLUTE_Y   9       /* Y location */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_DELTA_Z      10      /* Z delta amount */
#define WSCONS_EVENT_MOUSE_ABSOLUTE_Z   11      /* Z location */

	So I'd expect to see something like 1,code,timespec for a keypress
	(code would be taken from /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h)
