Fix modifier keys for Redragon Asura Keyboard
RFC PATCH 1/1 Fix modifier keys for Redragon Asura Keyboard
The microdia family of keyboards uses a non-standard way of sending modifier keys.
The down event always sets the first bit to 0x04 and the second keycode to a custom value For instance, left shift sends the following bits
04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00
while left control sends
04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00
As a result all modifier keys are mapped to left shift and the keyboard is non-functional in that respect. To solve the problem, we capture the raw data in raw_event and manually generate the correct input events.
The keyboard functions mostly as expected now, with only a few minor issues:
- two USB devices are detected instead of 1
- some key combinations are not triggered - e.g.
left shift + left ctrl + p. However, the same combination is recognized with the right shift key.
Tested on Kernel 4.14.12
Changelog:
- v2: modifier keys work, some combinations are still troublesome
- v3: style cleanup, rebase on top of 4.14
