onInput event type on TypeScript / React

I am trying to use onInput on a generic Input component I've created, everytime I add a DOM event I have a little fight with TypeScript.

This is my component, Input.tsx:

import React, { ChangeEvent, FormEvent } from 'react'

import { InputStyled } from './Input-style'

type InputProps = {
  name: string
  value: string | number
  type?: string
  placeholder?: string
  onInput?: (e: FormEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => void
  onChange?: (e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => void
}

export const Input = (props: InputProps) => (
  <InputStyled
    type={props.type ? props.type : 'text'}
    name={props.name}
    id={props.name}
    placeholder={props.placeholder}
    value={props.value}
    onInput={props.onInput}
    onChange={props.onChange}
   />
)

The problem I am having is that when using the onInput event, it says Property 'value' does not exist on type 'EventTarget'

import React from 'react'
import { Input } from '@components'

export const Main = () => {
  const [rate, setRate] = useState<number>(0)

  return (
    <Input
      type='number'
      name='Rate'
      value={rate}
      placeholder='Decimal number'
      onInput={e => setRate(Number(e.target.value))}
    />
  )
}

Do this:

onInput = (event: Event) => {
      const { value } = event.target as unknown as { value: number };
      setRate(value);
};
  
<Input onInput={onInput} />

and the squeegee lines will go away.

Explicitly typing the parameter of the handler works:

<Input
  onInput={(event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => setRate(event.target.value) }
/>
