Hello,
I have a Perixx Periboard-520 USB keyboard + trackball
that is not fully working, the keyboard seems OK, but
the trackball is not. The kernel errors out during probe,
probably due to a botched HID decriptor table.
I still am able to get something out of it with
`usbhid-dump` though. See below.
I can easily test patches, or provide more informations.
I may be mentored to fix it myself, I just don't really
know where to start.
I've seen that `drivers/hid/hid-holtek-kbd.c` has
something to fix the descriptor table for another
model.
## Hardware
Brand: Perixx
Type: Wired trackball keyboard
Model: PERIBOARD-520
