[SOLVED]Broke input from devices after trying to remove libwacom

I tried to remove libwacom since it was interfering with another driver, but after typing

sudo pacman -Rdd libwacom

and logging out, no matter what I did, I was unable to type or move my mouse cursor. I booted from a live usb of the arch installer and chrooted to my Installation. I installed libwacom and tougth everything would work, but the problem persisted.

Re: [SOLVED]Broke input from devices after trying to remove libwacom

"-Rdd" is a good indicator that you're about to fuck up…

What problem persisted? The interference or the dead pointer?
What's your display server? X11 or wayland?
Assumign the former, please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Why did you boot some live system?
Is your keyboard dead as well?

pacman -Qikk libwacom

So I don't know what to do, but I will mark this thread as solved since I fucked up and deleted /usr/bin/ and I just reinstalled.
