Trying this with Apex 150 #26

After changing the IDs accordingly your keyboard should at least be detected - calling 'sudo msiklm test' should work. However, changing the lines is not sufficient, you will have to recompile the program. This is not a script that will be interpreted, it will compiled into the binary, the source file itself is not needed for at all, once you built the binary. So if you change it, recompile the program and your keyboard should at least be detected. |
http://i.imgur.com/BF9O9aL.png Already tried other methods like msi-keyboard, running steelseries engine with wine and so on. Also unfortunately i'm not in that lvl in programming that i could do anything like that. |
I just feel im useless. I tried it both ways. Using those numbers from lsusb and also those msiklm ids. Dunno why it still says not compatible like it doenst necessarily mean it isnt found but well eh. |
No problem... You installed the program as mentioned in the instructions (probably using the install script). This will compile the binary using the included version of the source files. If you change the source files after the program was already built, it will have no effect to the existing program. If you want to modify the source code, do it and run the install script after doing so, e.g. again execute 'install.sh'. This will recompile the program including your modifications. Hope this helps :-) |
Quickly coming back to your issue: I just tested it myself, if you change the IDs as you mentioned and recompile the program, the keyboard will be found. So please reinstall the program after changing the code and it will find the keyboard. However I doubt that the commands will work, but that's a different story. |
shows like this:
udo msiklm list
Device: SteelSeries Apex 150 Gaming Keyboard
Device Vendor ID: 4152
Device Product ID: 5654
Device Serial Number: (null)
Device Manufaturer: SteelSeries
Device Path: 0001:0005:00
Device Interface Number: 0
Device Release Number: 24
Device: SteelSeries Apex 150 Gaming Keyboard
Device Vendor ID: 4152
Device Product ID: 5654
Device Serial Number: (null)
Device Manufaturer: SteelSeries
Device Path: 0001:0005:01
Device Interface Number: 1
Device Release Number: 24
Also then changed msiklm.c file so it patches with ID
It looks like this:
bool keyboard_found()
{
hid_device* keyboard = open_keyboard();
if (keyboard != NULL)
{
hid_close(keyboard);
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
/**
/
hid_device open_keyboard()
{
if (hid_init() == 0)
return hid_open(4152, 5654, 0);
else
return NULL;
And after editing and saving this file it still can't detect my keyboard
sudo msiklm test
No compatible keyboard found!
It should even find it right?
