Make the TTY console ignore the /dev/input/event3 keyboard

I have a remote control IR USB receiver, but it acts just like a normal keyboard.
I'm reading the input from /dev/input/event3 to handle events. Because of this I need a way for the TTY console to ignore this "keyboard" device without disabling the USB device entirely.



So currently when I press buttons on the remote control it types characters into the TTY console, which is undesirable.

    evtest --grab /dev/input/event3 will show the events and not allow others to see them. Add the ioctl EVIOCGRAB to your reading code.
