    How to Modify Keyboard Drivers

    I have a keyboard that has a few buttons that my OS does not recognize when pressed. As I understand it, this has something to do with the drivers not fully communicating with the keyboard (?). I have seen many people write custom drivers for certain keyboards but there hasn't been one developed for my keyboard (that I've found. It's a GSkill km780r).

    I don't know assembly code or machine code or anything of that nature and so I think it would take too long for me to learn that and write my own drivers. My question would be what is the feasibility of just modifying the current drivers I have to recognize the extra buttons?


    I used xev and can confirm pressing the extra keys do not register

    Did you consider adding or modifying key assignments in Settings>Keyboard?
