RE: mceusb2 support for Microsoft Remote Keyboard?

Given that the keyboard is (by my understanding) seen just as a USB device,
can you use 'cat /dev/whatever' and get a raw response from the device when
keyboard keys are pressed?    If that's the case, can you use irrecord to
get valid codes for each of the keys (to go into your lircd.conf)?    Once
that's working, irw should be fine.    If irrecord doesn't work, then that's
where a bit of code tweaking in the driver might help you.

Good luck.
