Thanks for the pointer. HID Usage Table seems like it would be in line to what I'm trying to do. Though still doesn't define a set keycode anywhere (this would actually be great to line this up to a standard). > > Do this button toggle the mute status? Yes it's a toggle for microphone (though done all in software) .. so no hardware controls going on here. Right now on these Thinkpads sends an acpi event, we can remap that to a standard key code once it is defined (done in module thinkpad-acpi). I also failed to mention before that there is also Thinkpad USB keyboard as well with the key: http://www.thinkpads.com/wp-content/gallery/thinkpad-usb-keyboard/lenovo_thinkpad_usb_ultranav_keyboard-top.jpg It sends a keycode..though that can be remmapped in udev to whatever ends up getting defined.
