MSI Claw devices produce WMI events through the MSI WMI hotkeys GUID for
some of their buttons. When pressed, these cause spam in the kernel. For
the majority of devices these events can be safely ignored as they are
duplicated by the AT Translated Set 2 Keyboard device exposed as an
evdev. For the MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM model's M-Center Menu button (left of
the screen) there is no associated keyboard event, so this event must be
exposed. Map this button to the same scancode produced by the AT
Keyboard device on other models. This does cause double F15 events on
the A1M, 7 AI+ A2VM, and 8 AI+ A2VM, but it appears to be harmless in my
testing.

Can you share the BMOF associated with this event? I suspect that the buffer should
contain a u32.
Thanks,
