You need to install PyUSB and libusb (as root): aptitude install python-usb On Debian or Ubuntu systems setting up the Python port of the code is relatively easy. On Arch Linux systems the Python port has been packaged and is available from. tux_mark_5 developed a small Haskell program which sends the correct SET_REPORT message to Razer keyboards to enable these keys, and ex-parrot ported the same code to Python. M1-M5 are in fact regular keys - they just need to be specifically enabled before pressing them will generate a scancode. I will also require sufficient information to replicate, and successfully use the keys on my own system. configure, make, make install) if additional software not on the Ubuntu repositories for the current LTS or standard desktop release at the time of the answer. I will require compiled code that will work on my system, or a source that I can compile (with instructions if it's more complex than. Virtual cookie and mad props if it's something nicely packaged and usable by the average user. I need these keys detected, and usable in any fashion on any of the current graphical mainstream Ubuntu variants, and naturally have to work with my keyboard. I would be willing to test anything that makes sense on a Linux system if I have detailed instructions - this should open up the question to people who have Linux skills, but no access to this keyboard. I also realise this is a very specific family of hardware.

The expected end result is still to make those keys usable on Linux however. I can also try it on systems with and without the config utility. I have access to a Windows system so if I need to use any tools on that to help answer the question, it's fine. They are, in fact, fancypants joojoo keys. This should probably indicate that there's some initialisation sequence sent to the keyboard on activation. Keyboard goes into pulsing backlight mode in OS X upon initialisation with the driver. Single device under OS X apparently, though I have yet to try lsusb equivalent on that

Mouse driver seen in Linux under evdev and lsusb as well

The pointing device uses - in addition to your bog standard mouse drivers - a driver for something called a Razer Synapse. In a Windows system with the driver, the keyboard is seen as a keyboard and a pointing device. It might be useful to check if the mice use the same Razer Synapse driver, since that means some variation of razercfg might work (not detected, only seems to work for mice) LSUSB only detects one device on a standalone Linux install Need to cross reference that with lsusb output from Linux, in three scenarios: standalone, passed through to a Windows VM without the drivers installed, and the same with.

Might indicate additional keys are a separate device or need to be initialised somehow. Wireshark - preliminary futzing around seems to indicate no scancodes emitted when what I seem to think is the keyboard is monitored and keys pressed.

Snoopy pro + reverse engineering (oh dear) This ahk script's output suggests the M keys are not outputting standard scancodes detectable by windows Showkeys from the built in kbd package (in a seperate vt) - macro keys not detectedД¬ontents of /dev/input/by-path as well as lsusb and evdev output Ideally the answer should be generic and system-wide. I'm assuming that these aren't some fancypants joojoo keys and should emit scancodes like any other keys.ДЇirstly, is there a standard way to check these scancodes in Linux? Secondly, how do I set these keys to do things in command line and X-based Linux setups? My current Linux install is Xubuntu 10.10, but I'll be switching to Kubuntu once I have a few things fixed up. I picked up a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate that has additional keys meant for macros that are set using a tool that's installed on Windows.
