Hi,

started to look into the driver regarding TUXEDO NB02 devices support, starting with the FN-Keys:

Can you also add

{ KE_IGNORE,    UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_CHANGED,     { KEY_UNKNOWN }},

?

UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_ENABLE and UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_DISABLE are always sent in pair with UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_CHANGED (at least on my test device) and without this line an unknown key event is generated (as that is not explicitly marked as KE_IGNORE without the line).

+ /* Reported in manual mode when toggling the airplane mode status */
+ { KE_KEY, UNIWILL_OSD_RFKILL, { KEY_RFKILL }},
+
+ /* Reported when user wants to cycle the platform profile */
+ { KE_IGNORE, UNIWILL_OSD_PERFORMANCE_MODE_TOGGLE, { KEY_UNKNOWN }},
This is a physical button on the gaming devices from Uniwill, my suggestion would be to bind it to F14 (because another ODM has a very similar key that already sends F14 by default) and then let userspace handle it (KDE for example has energy profiles that could be bound to it).

+ /* Reported when the user wants to adjust the brightness of the keyboard */
+ { KE_KEY, UNIWILL_OSD_KBDILLUMDOWN, { KEY_KBDILLUMDOWN }},
+ { KE_KEY, UNIWILL_OSD_KBDILLUMUP, { KEY_KBDILLUMUP }},
+
+ /* Reported when the user wants to toggle the microphone mute status */
+ { KE_KEY, UNIWILL_OSD_MIC_MUTE, { KEY_MICMUTE }},
+
+ /* Reported when the user locks/unlocks the Fn key */
+ { KE_IGNORE, UNIWILL_OSD_FN_LOCK, { KEY_FN_ESC }},
+
+ /* Reported when the user wants to toggle the brightness of the keyboard */
+ { KE_KEY, UNIWILL_OSD_KBDILLUMTOGGLE, { KEY_KBDILLUMTOGGLE }},
+
+ /* FIXME: find out the exact meaning of those events */
+ { KE_IGNORE, UNIWILL_OSD_BAT_CHARGE_FULL_24_H, { KEY_UNKNOWN }},
+ { KE_IGNORE, UNIWILL_OSD_BAT_ERM_UPDATE, { KEY_UNKNOWN }},
+
+ /* Reported when the user wants to toggle the benchmark mode status */
+ { KE_IGNORE, UNIWILL_OSD_BENCHMARK_MODE_TOGGLE, { KEY_UNKNOWN }},
+
+ { KE_END }
+};

Any reason for still having KEY_* defines even on the ignored events? Looking at other drivers KE_IGNORE events usually don't have it.

Best regards,
