Using an USB keypad to control my application Windows

Question

I have a Windows machine with an USB keypad attached to it. I would like to use the keypad to control my application. Ideally I would like to detach the keypad from the system and detecting the keypresses in my program.

On Linux I remove the keypad from the input by

xinput disable 20

20 being the keypad device number. Then I can communicate with the keypad directly using hidapi:

hid.hidapi.hid_init()
device = hid.hidapi.hid_open_path(path)
buf = bytes([0]*65)
hid.hidapi.hid_read_timeout(device, buf, len(buf), 250)

path being the device's path. Could I detach the keyboard from the system and use it as my device? If not is there a way to write a driver specifically for my keypad (vid/pid) that could communicate with my program? I am looking for swift solutions like the above hidapi script and nod GOD tutorials about Windows Drivers.

Thank You in advance.
