25 days agoI have an old gamer keyboard with extra programmable keys on the side, which I use for cut, copy, paste, close tab, close window, etc. Logitech provides drivers/software for Windows & Mac only.
To make it work I have a custom monkey-patched USB driver that I compiled from source, some weird daemon that interacts with the driver and some shell scripts on top of that. I’m not sure how but it works thanks to a 9 year old youtube video made by a guy from eastern europe somewhere.

I’m pretty sure it will only work with a handful of old Logitech keyboards.
When I eventually upgrade my OS and can’t compile the stack for some reason, I’ve got a Sun Type-7 waiting in the wings.
