Redragon Asura Keyboard - All Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win keys function as left shift

[Robert Munteanu]

Hi,

I am trying to use the keyboard I mentioned. Most of the keys work
fine, except for Shift/Alt/Ctrl/Win. All of them are mapped a left
shift. Some notes:

1. dmesg output when plugging in the keyboard

[185765.848957] input: USB Keyboard as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/0003:0C45:760B.0022/input/input50
[185765.905395] hid-generic 0003:0C45:760B.0022: input,hidraw3: USB
HID v1.11 Keyboard [USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input0
[185765.949342] input: USB Keyboard as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.1/0003:0C45:760B.0023/input/input51
[185766.009474] hid-generic 0003:0C45:760B.0023:
input,hiddev0,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [USB Keyboard] on
usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input1

The first input device sends absolutely no input, the second one sends
all the input.

2. Tests done using evtest

With evtest, all the mentioned keys have the following output:

Event: time 1497272760.897616, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e1
Event: time 1497272760.897616, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 42 (KEY_LEFTSHIFT), value 1

3. Information from debugs

In sys/kernel/debug/hid I have two entries:

- 0003:0C45:760B.0037
- 0003:0C45:760B.0038

I've pasted the rdesc output at

- https://pastebin.com/4VwDKRvU
- https://pastebin.com/CrBVRFBj

4. Hexdump output

I've taken the hexdump output when pressing the affected keys. The
keypresses, in order, were:

- Left Shift
- Left Ctrl
- Win
- Left Alt
- Right Alt
- Right Ctrl
- Right Shift

If you need more information to qualify whether this is a bug or not,
let me know. I'd be glad to test any potential fixes.

I am running kernel 4.11.2 ( openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 ).

Thanks,

Robert
