Sorry, I posted a parsed version of the report descriptor previously though I failed to cross post: Collection page=Generic_Desktop usage=Mouse Input id=2 size=1 count=1 page=Button usage=Button_1 Variable, logical range 0..1 Input id=2 size=1 count=1 page=Button usage=Button_2 Variable, logical range 0..1 Input id=2 size=1 count=1 page=Button usage=Button_3 Variable, logical range 0..1 Input id=2 size=1 count=1 page=Button usage=Button_4 Variable, logical range 0..1 Input id=2 size=4 count=1 page=0x0000 usage=0x0000 Const Variable, logical range 0..1 Collection page=Generic_Desktop usage=Pointer Input id=2 size=8 count=1 page=Generic_Desktop usage=X Variable Relative, logical range -127..127 Input id=2 size=8 count=1 page=Generic_Desktop usage=Y Variable Relative, logical range -127..127 Input id=2 size=8 count=1 page=Consumer usage=AC_Pan Variable Relative, logical range -127..127 Input id=2 size=8 count=1 page=Generic_Desktop usage=Wheel Variable Relative, logical range -127..127 End collection Input id=2 size=8 count=1 page=0x00ff usage=0x00c0 Variable, logical range -127..127 Feature id=71 size=8 count=1 page=Device_Controls usage=Battery_Strength Variable NoPref Volatile, logical range 0..100 End collection As you can see, there is a Feature report relating to the Battery Strength, but I do not know what to do with that. I suppose that it is to be polled in order to return a percentage value.. > Does 00ff.00c0 usage change it's value if you put different batteries into > the mouse? The mighty mouse has a single hard shell and detects the difference between left click and right click by a capacitance detector underneath the finger positions. This usage contains bits indicating where the mouse is being touched though I guess it is just for testing as the OS does not really need to know (it generates normal button clicks). There is one more data point that may be interesting. The mighty mouse (and an old Apple keyboard I have) spits out an input report that is not mentioned in the descriptor with id=48 just before the battery fails. I captured it once and it contained a single byte with value 0x01. I have no idea what that report is for but as I use NiMH batteries which maintain voltage until very near the end, it could be a charge level warning. regards, iain -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
