Consider that we basically have two devices, both using application 0xC001, some of which should be associated with hiddev, and some with the input layer. My point is that you should leave the keyboards alone (since they are likely to be much more common and input is a pretty core capability), and just special case out those devices (not identified, but likely to not be many) that should be in hiddev. > Aren't keys who are advertising themselves in that way according to the > standard declaring themselves not to be keyboards? It seems to me that > such devices should use the system control usage of usage page 0x01. Should have? Maybe, maybe not - depends on what buttons you are trying to use. But that is irrelevant - you can't fix the firmware in a keyboard when it is already shipped, and now we have to do the best thing possible by the users...
