This looks interesting. Is anybody planning on getting it? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/new-arrivals/KBD-BO-TrackPoint-KBD-US-Eng/p/4Y40X49493

cblegare commented 4 years ago

I got it with a fr-ca layout. It's very nice.

I'm looking in this repository because Fn and FnLock do not seam to work out of the box. I could post back when I find my way around that

EDIT

As per the readme, I tried to control whether fn_lock is enabled by issuing:

echo 0 > /sys/bus/hid/devices/*17EF\:604*/fn_lock

and no folder matched this pattern. On my laptop, the /sys/bus/hid/devices/ folder contains

And I am out of my confort zone here. any advice?

dal00 commented 4 years ago

I think you should probably create another issue for the fn/fnlock thing

But are you able to compare it to the old one in quality and function?

@dal00

I think you should probably create another issue for the fn/fnlock thing

I will do, thanks

But are you able to compare it to the old one in quality and function?

I didn't try the old one, but I can compare it with the P50s, E560, Yoga and T500 I use daily.

The disposition is precise, keys feel less flacky when compared to an internal keyboard. It is thin and feels robust. Even though it is not a proper mecanical keyboard with actual mecanical switches, there is a feel of a "click", even if the sound itself is quieter than a internal keyboard.

I found it was quite easy to pluck out by accident one the the legs that make the angle, which should not be an issue when handled with a least a bit of care.

The three buttons below the space bar are flat and low, not concave like they used to be. The plastic finish looks a bit more textured and silky than it used to be, which is good in my opinion.

All in all, I am pleased with it!

cblegare commented 4 years ago

Somewhat important thing to note: You can't register your product for this keyboard online, and must send a proof of purchase to get any warranty manually.

jeroney commented 4 years ago

Works great out of the box. Though needs kernel level support for a few things.

It has 2 modes. Android & Windows. Really Windows is full keyboard mode. Where Android mode looks like it disables the FnLock functionality.

* Some keys need fixing (through kernel or udev?)
  - Project (sending WINDOWS+P) (F7) - need to fix somehow?
  - Quote box? (F8) - not sending anything
  - Settings (F9) - not sending anything
  - Bluetooth (F10) - not sending anything
  - Keyboard (F11) - not sending anything
  - Favorite (F12) - not sending anything

It would be interesting to use hcidump (for bluetooth) or hidraw (cat /dev/hidraw1 | xxd -b -c6 roughly) to see what these keys produce at that level. Although there's a high chance they all produce the same code until some special mode is enabled (this is what all the other keyboards I've tried do).

jeroney commented 4 years ago

Pressing F8 & F11 don't produce anything.

Also figured I did try updating the lenovo-hid driver in the kernel. That's when I realized this thing is nothing like the previous model under the hood.

So the keyboard has two modes. Android & WIndows. Windows it's a normal keyboard. Android mode does two things:

So in Android mode everything is HID compliant. In Windows Mode it's not.

Really not sure why Lenovo keeps doing this. Just make HID compliant keys and there wouldn't be a problem anywhere.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20211017083246.977096-1-iam@valdikss.org.ru/T/

This patch enables "native mode", in which middle button works properly (does not emulate press-release before scrolling) and horizontal scrolling is supported. It also handles trackpoint sensitivity and proper button mapping.

leoluk commented 3 years ago

@ValdikSS Working horizontal scrolling? That's awesome! Do you need any help with testing?

jeroney commented 2 years ago

Tested @ValdikSS patches posted on linux-input mailing list. Not sure what the hold up is. But works really well for both USB & Bluetooth modes of the keyboard.

I came up with udev rules to have fn-lock disabled. The bluetooth one definitely took some work to figure out. But old work actually came in handy and probably needs updating on the side for the original Thinkpad keyboard.

Oh also latest version of the patches (trying) to make their way upstream: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/list/?submitter=188019

Good news. The patches are on their way to the Linux kernel in 5.19

Hi, I have the Bluetooth keyboard (17ef:60ee) and I'm trying to use the special keys. In my case:

I'm using Linux 5.18.2 with this patch and udev 247.3.

ValdikSS commented 2 years ago

@bertogg, are you on Xorg? Xorg has 8-bit key codes, while the KEY_NOTIFICATION_CENTER is 444 for example.

bertogg commented 2 years ago

I'm with a GNOME Wayland session with Xwayland

bertogg commented 2 years ago

Ah yeah, I see them with libinput debug-events. How can I use them in GNOME?

managervcf commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have the Bluetooth keyboard (17ef:60ee) and I'm trying to use the special keys. In my case:

  • Manage external display (F7) - works fine out of the box white_check_mark
  • Action center (F8) - not sending anything x
  • Settings (F9) - works fine out of the box white_check_mark
  • Bluetooth (F10) - works fine out of the box white_check_mark
  • Keyboard (F11) - not sending anything x
  • Favorite (F12) - acpi_listen gives me button/prog1, and it's mapped to XF86Launch1, it doesn't do anything by default but I can configure it white_check_mark

I'm using Linux 5.18.2 with this patch and udev 247.3.

That's exactly what is happening with my keyboard as well. Also I found that the FnLock indicator always turns on on startup, even though I disable it before rebooting.

jeroney commented 2 years ago

@managervcf

To have FnLock disable you have to use udev to do it. I wrote a udev rule.

Run this command to install the udev rule, then restart udev or the system for it to take affect:
