Please, just redirect me to the information of the device protocols. It is pretty simple to make the kernel drivers work with these kinds of HID devices. There is no need to look at the wiimote driver as this one is pretty complex and does something totally different than normal HID drivers. I am willing to write the kernel drivers, but I need a short introduction or some pointers on how these devices work. I cannot afford buying these (yeah, not even 30$...) so I also need people willing to test these. This should be pretty easy, though. Also Jiri Kosina (the HID maintainer) is willing to accept any weird quirks we need for these devices. But please stop using fakehid. The idea is wrong and hidraw should be used to write userspace HID drivers. (uhid is only for transport side! So cannot be used here). The kernel HID community is also very active and helps a lot on maintaining the drivers. So if the devices only need some short setup-command during initialization and then they send HID reports whenever a button is pressed, then everything should be very easy to get working. Even auto-reconnect and 10min idle-disconnect are _very_ easy to get working in the kernel with the current HID infrastructure. Thanks!
