Errors or warnings from Solaar: N/A

Describe the bug When "Divert G Keys" is enabled for a Logitech G935 headset:

The mic mute button does not work at all
The mic lift mute function does not work correctly
- When the mic boom is lifted, the mic is muted
- When the mic boom is lowered, the mic remains muted until it is muted and unmuted in the system audio settings

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Enable "Divert G Keys" for a G935 headset
Press the mute button on the microphone. Observe that the microphone is not muted.
Lift the microphone boom. Observe that the microphone is muted. Lower the microphone boom, and observe that the microphone does not unmute as expected.
Disable "Divert G Keys" for the headset. Observe that all mic muting/unmuting functions work as expected again.

Screenshots N/A

Additional context I am unable to provide any relevant logs. Neither the mute button nor the mic boom lift/lower actions provide any output when Solaar is run with the -ddd parameter.

I also could not find a way to manually assign either the mic mute button or the mic boom lift/lower actions to a rule to workaround the issue.

It is entirely possible that this is just what diverting the G keys on the G935 does. There are lots of quirks in this kind of hardware.

What output is produced by the other buttons when the G keys are diverted?

It would also be useful to know how many G keys are on the headset - not the number labelled with Gn but the number the device reports. To find out you need to clone this repository using git, cd to the cloned directory, and run the hidconsole tool. Run ./tools/hidconsole /dev/hidrawN where N makes the path for the headset (from solaar show). Send the command 11 01 0500 and post the result.

If you mean debug output from solaar -ddd, nothing. I get no output from the mute button or from raising/lowering the mic.

It would also be useful to know how many G keys are on the headset - not the number labelled with Gn but the number the device reports. To find out you need to clone this repository using git, cd to the cloned directory, and run the hidconsole tool.

Output is pasted below. In theory, there are only three G keys on this headset, though the hardware may believe differently.

(Edit: re-ran and updated the command output, original output was corrupted a bit for some reason (terminal width?))

Are there keys on the headset marked with G1, ...? If so, what do they produce when G keys are diverted.

The hidconsole test didn't produce useful output. Please try with 11 FF 0500 000000000000.

There are three keys on the headset marked G1 through G3. When G keys are diverted, I can create rules for them and program them as expected. That part is actually working great.

The hidconsole test didn't produce useful output. Please try with 11 FF 0500 000000000000.

OK that is saying that there are 3 G keys, which appears to match the number of G keys on the headset.

But there is that side effect of diverting G keys. It appears that that is just how the headset works and there is nothing that Solaar can do about it. So this is not a Solaar bug.

That's disappointing. Thanks for checking.
