Trying to setup actkbd for external keyboard

Hi, actkbd works fine for my laptop's keyboard. However I am trying to setup actkbd for the media keys in my external keyboard also.

So, i tried running

sudo actkbd -s -n -d /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd

in the terminal, however it does not show any codes for my external keyboard's media keys. when i checked in "showkey and showkey -s"  it shows that the external keyboard's media keys have the same scancodes and keycodes as the internal keyboard.

How do i make my external keyboard's keys work with actkbd?
