ASUS ROG G751JT Long Boot Time due to hid (null): usage index exceeded

There's a few quirks with this laptop, such as the keyboard backlight not working, but that's not something I'm overly concerned about. However, when booting I always get this message

[    2.445689] hid (null): usage index exceeded
[    2.446165] hid-generic 0003:0B05:17FD.0006: usage index exceeded
[    2.446656] hid-generic 0003:0B05:17FD.0006: item 0 2 2 2 parsing failed

The boot process sits on this stage for several seconds, longer than the rest of the boot process combined. Running dmesg I see this

[    2.440874] hid-generic 0003:0B05:17FD.0005: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [ASUS ASUS ROG Macrokey] on usb-0000:00:14.0-10/input0

To me, it sounds like it's the macro keys at the top of the keyboard causing the issues. I'd be completely okay with those not working if it meant I could boot faster. I've tried disabling it by adding this to my /etc/default/grub and then re initializing grub.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbhid.quirks=0x0b05.0x17fd.0x0005"

Which causes the following output when I startx, but the problem persists.

[    89.491] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=3fd099fd-28bd-488f-8515    -a77d3f31cd03 rw quiet splash usbhid.quirks=0x0b05.0x17fd.0x0005

Re: ASUS ROG G751JT Long Boot Time due to hid (null): usage index exceeded

Alright so it appears to be working now, I ended up using the grub option, but with a different ending value.
