Did you already find someone with a US keyboard?

Yes as mentioned in thread it does not seem possible to write a
hwdb-rule that works for both US and non-US keyboard. Also it is a
general problem that affects other keyboards than Corsair, again see
previous mails in this thread.

David, it would be great if you could get your patch ready so this one
could be closed. If you don't have the time to do it, perhaps my
original patch could be considered again. I fully aggree that it is a
hack but it does solve the problem with little risk of bad side
effects. It can always be removed later we you have a proper fix.

Regards,

Fredrik

Hello,

I experience the same issue with my new keyboard:
*Corsair Raptor K30 (German version)*

The issue can be fixed/worked around with this rule in hwdb:

---------------
#keyboard:name:*Corsair*:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svn*:pn*:pvr*
keyboard:usb:v1B1Cp1B0A*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70031=reserved
---------------

So you think the US version won't work with this anymore? I guess they
will send both scancodes, too.

This is the output of lsusb:

Did you already find someone with a US keyboard? Shall I write in the
corsair forums or to the support to find out whether US keyboards have
the same product IDs? If this is not the case, we could safely use vendor/
product IDs for the workaround.

I'd really like to submit working hwdb lines to the udev database to save
other users from having these troubles.

Also, do you know why

Greetings,
RH
