class KeyState:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.value = 0

    async def update(self, key: str) -> None:
        if key == "a":
            self.value += 1
        elif key == "b":
            self.value -= 1


async def key_handler(key: str) -> None:
    key_state.update(key)


async def default() -> None:
    print("Default! Resetting value to 0")
    key_state.value = 0


async def main() -> None:
    key_state = KeyState()
    controller = KeyboardController(key_handler=key_state.update, default=default, timeout=0.001)
    await controller.start()

    try:
        while True:
            print(key_state.value)
            await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
    finally:
        await controller.stop()

    asyncio.run(main())
