I've never actually used CEC, but everything I've seen says it's just like a USB HID, correct? According to wikipedia, there already exist USB to CEC adapters.

I don't know what HID is, but CEC lets you control Kodi with the TV remote.

HID means a human interface device, so most commonly a keyboard, but remote controls can and do use the same protocol just fine.
