USB Keyboard Issue

Alright guys, I've tried everything I know to do.. I've been battling this for 3 days now and cannot figure it out.

I've got a new custom keyboard (White Fox, from Massdrop) that I've been waiting patiently on for almost almost 8 months, so I finally get this thing home and assembled and I can't get it to work on my Arch install... It works on other Linux distros (Ubuntu and Debian), macOS and Windows perfectly. So it has to be an issue with my Arch install.

Anyways, on to the details:

Symptoms:  Keyboard gets power when I plug it in, however it doesn't type the correct key and when I press any key it will cause both my laptops built in keyboard and to exhibit the same problem. I can unplug it and it use my built in keyboard again just fine.

I've been following the logs at close as possible but I cannot get to the root of this problem..

  • Downgrading to an earlier kernel: linux-4.5.1-1

  • Using the Linux LTS kernel and headers

  • Downgrading xinput and xorg-server to previous packages

  • Forcing it to use evdev instead of libinput via a xx-whitefox.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

  • and a few other things I'm sure but I can't remember right now...

relative information, i'm on the LTS kernel for right now:

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

Since you have determined, that it runs in Ubuntu, grep their patch sets for the kernel, udev and probably evdev for the USBID of your keyboard and see what they do differently.

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

The obvious difference is "state 0x4" vs "state 0x0", which means that CTRL is stuck or at least X thinks so. Don't ask me how and why.

What if you play with CTRL keys a bit?

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

Yeah it definitely thinks the CTRL key is active..

Today I desoldered both CTRL keys and it still thinks the its pressed somehow.

Awebb, I'll look through you're idea today hopefully. Do you have a good place to start for the patch sets?

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

Yes, it's pretty clear that switches are OK if it works on other machines/OSs. BTW, did you test with other distributions on the same machine or on a different one?

Anyway, start with checking if the same happens outside of X, on TTYs. This will narrow it down to either X or the kernel.

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

It definitely happens outside of X, when I drop down to a TTY or boot into single user mode I get characters like "^T" or "^E".

And I tested it out on different machines for the different Linux distros, my first thought was a bad port actually and I've tried all of them with the same result.

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

So oddly enough if press the Backspace key immediately upon plugging it in it the CTRL key doesn't behave like its pressed. The keyboard functions like normal.. I can't think of anything that would cause this.

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

Probably a bug in the kernel or keyboard firmware (somehow triggered by the kernel, BIOS, USB controller or anything).

One more thing you can check is run wireshark, select usbmon1 (if the keyboard is still on bus 1, check lsusb) and click start. Hit some keys and you should see "interrupt IN" URBs coming. Select one whose destination is "host" and in the middle horizontal panel, "leftover capture data" will show the received HID packet. The first two digits will be 10 or 01 if the keyboard wants to say that one CTRL is pressed, 11 if both and 00 if none. So you can see if it's the keyboard lying or the kernel.

Another thing - if you have this Debian/Ubuntu installer/livecd try it on the Arch machine, just for peace of mind wink Also, see what kernel version these distributions run and try to downgrade to similar version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg.

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

Hey mich41, sorry for the late delay, I just found some time to debug this.

The leftover capture data always starts with 01, so I'm assuming that's the keyboard reporting this and not the kernel?

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

So it seems. Are other modifiers reported correctly? CTRL is 1, SHIFT is 2, ALT is 4. Multiple keys are summed together, so 5 is CTRL+ALT and so on. Left digit is right side, right digit is left side - simple wink BTW, the next field should always be 00 and the remaining six fields are just the list of currently pressed non-modifier keys - maybe hit few random keys and see if it behaves as expected because it would be silly if it turned out that the keyboard uses some different protocol altogether and we are barking up the wrong tree.

I have no idea why it happens only on this system. Can you try wireshark on this Debian box to be sure it's really this?

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

So I found that I didn't push the switches all the way down to the PCB, as a result my USB port is off center and causing a few other issues cosmetically. I've decided to bite the bullet though and get a decent solder station (Hakko FX888D) in order to desolder and resolder everything back. I was previously using an old Weller that had a horrible tip.. so I'm not ruling out the possibility that I butchered something.

I'll have it in tomorrow and will probably have everything soldered back up in a few days. I'll report back once I get it done if it solves the issue.

Thanks for your assistance, you've been extremely helpful!

Re: USB Keyboard Issue

I definitely agree with that,  I'm actually pretty sure that even with resoldering all these switches with a good iron the problem will still exist. I think we can all agree that it is either an issue with the firmware on the keyboard itself or something with my kernel.

Thinking about it more it actually seems like something on the keyboard firmware itself that other kernels filter out or something... though I've reflashed it multiple times successfully.
