I have the same issue.

Additionally, I think this behavior messes with the deadkeys.

@SpecialCharacter I have made a comment on StackOverflow, and also pushed a branch for testing here. If you find the time to test it, I would be grateful. The fix removed the additional event triggered by the controller, and the simple test case posted by you on StackOverflow appears to pass.

@Jzege Your issue is a bit more complicated. It appears that KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT::vkCode can be set to VK_PACKET. In this case, KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT::scanCode is set to the UTF-16 representation of the key.

The testing branch includes a fix for this as well; if KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT::vkCode is VK_PACKET, it will use KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT::scanCode as a raw unicode character. If you find any issues, please report them here.
