Nope, you got it right. Originally, I was only working on the Sidewinder
X4 support, featuring 6 macro keys and 3 profiles, resulting in 18
possible outcomes.

So, I hardcoded KEY_F13 - KEY_F24 and some other keys in the hid driver.
That solution was working fine for the Sidewinder X4. However, when I got my
hands on a Sidewinder X6, supporting 30 macro keys and 3 profiles,
resulting in 90 possible outcomes, I had to overthink my original design.

I've searched for similar keyboards and found the Roccat Arvo. As far as
I've understood the code of hid-roccat-arvo, it shows pressed keys as
key_mask via
sysfs and a user land tool (http://sourceforge.net/projects/roccat)
polls sysfs to handle the keypresses. I'm doing essentially the same
here, too.

Aww, sorry to make you see such cruel things :(. I will fix it in v2,
thank you for pointing that out; I wasn't aware of it.

I think there is no possibility for that outcome. The only code, which
touches these bits, can be found in
static ms_sidewinder_record_store. Everytime, prior writing to these
bits, they're cleared and the only
possible values are either 0x40, 0x20, 0x00 or 0x10 (if LED 3 is on).
But I think, I get your point. I will create
another case for 0x60 in terms of error handling in v2.

I originally tried to use the common LED API, but couldn't get it to
work. It's just too
difficult for me, I'm very new to C and kernel development. I've studied
hid-sony.c
countless times, but I guess I need more examples to fully understand
the LED API.

I'll keep you updated about my progress.

As I already mentioned, the Roccat Arvo (and several other Roccat gaming
keyboards) handle
the macro keys like this.

Basically, there are two types of gaming keyboards out there; the ones,
which don't depend
on software / drivers and do everything in hardware. For such keyboards,
one usually needs
a user-land tool, which programs the keyboard's internal memory and
that's it. It sends out
the standard USB packets, without the need of any software / driver
afterwards.

The other type of keyboards depend on software. Each macro key sends out
a specific USB
packet, the software catches these packets and handles it.

So, what I did there, is basically splitting up the driver in a kernel
and a user-land component.
The kernel recognizes the key-presses and shows them via sysfs and the
user-land tool
executes events (simple key-presses, scripts etc.), depending on which
bit is set in key_mask.

Atleast, that's what I thought would be the best solution. Hardcoding
keycodes might
work for some keyboards (Logitech G710+, Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013,
Cooler Master
Storm Trigger), but will definitely fail on keyboards like the
Sidewinder X6, Corsair K90 / K95
or the Logitech G110 featuring 50+ macro keys.

I'd love to approach another solution, but the problem is, that the
Linux kernel is currently
not prepared for handling so many extra keys. We'd need more keycodes
for such a solution,
like defining KEY_M1 - KEY_M99 for example. This way, we could make the
kernel driver
send out keycodes and eliminate the use of sysfs for that. But I don't
think that would be a
good solution. What are your thoughts Benjamin?

Again, thank you for your patience and for your time Benjamin!
