Ideally, I'd get an ABNT2 "teclado multimidia" so that I could test most functions with one keyboard. But no-one is selling from Brazil to the U.K..

And I'd still need a Japanese and Korean keyboard in parallel as well. I actually have some HP ABNT2, Japanese, and Korean keyboards, but it's a lot of desk space to have them all connected up; and they don't have all of the "multimidia" keys, so that's a _fourth_ keyboard to get them ... (-:

The problem with the programmable add-on keypads is that they're programmable, and don't send the standard USB HID usage codes down the wire. For my purposes, I want something that sends the vanilla USB HID usages for the consumer/system keys; which no-one seems to do as a mass-market item.

Ideally, it would have the various language keys from the Japanese and Korean keyboards, too. But I suspect that I am a one-person market here. (-:

So... does anyone that follows me know their way around the Linux USB HID joystick/gamepad system?

I'm using a BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 radio control transmitter as a controller for drone simulators. It *almost* Just Works in a rather annoying way. It gets detected as a USB joystick (hidraw5 USB HID v1.11 Joystick) and gets bound to /dev/input/js0, where jstest reports it as having 7 axes and 0 buttons. The problem is that it should be a joystick with *8* axes and 0 buttons (4 axes for the 2 sticks, 2 3-position switches, & 2 2 position switches). Whenever I plug it in one of the 8 axes will be randomly disabled, and the remaining 7 axes will be randomly shuffled. Consequently I have to remap the controller in the game config every time I want to use it, a process that sometimes involves unplugging it and plugging it back in several times until all 4 of the stick axes are functioning (I've given up on using the switches).

Is this something that I could fix with a cunning udev rule or something, or am I stuffed? My web searching has so far failed to find anything useful.
