ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x1f 0x02 # Init (without this, no led wil work)

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x8 0x02 # capslock

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0xc 0x02 # backlight

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x11 0x02 # capslock

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x15 0x02 # capslock and circle

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x16 0x02 # circle, square

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x17 0x02 # circle, square, capslock

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x1b 0x02 # makes led go on on keypress

ctrl 0x41 0x0 0x1e 0x02 # Init2 >>> Ep6: [5] { 0xf0, 0x03, 0x00, 0x01, 0x01 }

    I noticed you listed a fair amount of the keycodes that you've got. Do you happen to have the remaining keycodes and would you be willing to share them? For a class project I am going to see about starting to build a driver. However I do not have access to a usb protocol analyzer to see what is being sent across the line by the controller and the chatpad.

    Regards,

    Kelly

    From what I've found there is an option to use the chat pad. It's a user made driver that'll allow you to use the chat pad. It's a bit crude and it's not being updated anymore as far as i can tell, but it works and I use it while playing MMOs or if i don't feel like sitting at the desk. It's a bit tricky to set up and it's not without bugs, but if you mess with it you can get it working. Link is https://code.google.com/p/chatpad-super-driver/

    Hope you can make use of it.

    I reported your post since it inappropriately assumes the issue has been resolved when it hasn't. I recommend everyone else does this as well.

    I'm surprised there hasn't been a class-action lawsuit yet. This is deplorable.
