About the only interesting thing with the keyboard was the Google Assistant key, where the Win key usually is. It was not recognized as anything at all […] wrote a patch to interpret it as a useful key (right meta, couldn’t think of anything better)
Why not see what other OSes (linux, windows) did with it?
I saw that Linux reports it as some ridiculous very high keycode in evdev, it was over 500 I think. That wouldn’t even be possible in the non-evdev case (that’s 8-bit) and it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Great write up and kudos for all the effort you put in to making it work.

What about windows?
No idea. I don’t have the energy/motivation for a windows install. I should have a Windows to Go drive but ehhh I don’t.
That’s fair. I don’t have a windows install either.
epic hacking how long did this take you to do?
uh, good question. I don’t track time :) but roughtly
