Razer Lycosa on Linux: sometimes starts spamming ^@ (ie. Ctrl+2 in `read`) chars continously

New issue: key 'o' decided to stop working and instead of rebooting or replugging the keyboard, I've looked for a software-only solution to emulate replugging it. Thanks to `<semeion>` on freenode irc #archlinux channel for this usbreset.c program fixed key 'o' for me: https://web.archive.org/web/20190608212549/http://ix.io/1Lh8 So I'll keep using it whenever I encounter any of the above issues. Seems like a good enough software-only workaround. Any further updates I'll be making in this gist: https://gist.github.com/howaboutsynergy/958d4929030f93416f36749980e33818#gistcomment-2938629 but there's basically not much else to say:)

Razer Lycosa on Linux: sometimes starts spamming ^@ (ie. Ctrl+2 in `read`) chars continously

It happened again on startup, at the login prompt, spamming ^@ intermittently. But I was able to log in as root and ran `showkeys`, the keyboard was spamming: [CODE]keycode 165 press keycode 165 release[/CODE] And when I press WinKey key(aka Super) which is keycode 125 it also showed some new keycodes: [CODE]keycode 0 press keycode 1 release keycode 37 release[/CODE] Keycode 0 is like impossible, right? But I know keycode 1 is for the Escape key which I haven't touched during this particular test. Keycode 37 is the K key.(I tried it) Here's an excerpt of the above WinKey press during the keycode 165 spam: [CODE] de 125 press keycode 125 press keycode 165 release keycode 165 press keycode 125 press keycode 125 press keycode 165 release keycode 125 press keycode 0 press keycode 1 release keycode 37 release keycode 125 press keycode 125 press keycode 165 release keycode 125 press keycode 165 press keycode 125 press keycode 125 release keycode 165 release keycode 0 press keyco

Razer Lycosa on Linux: sometimes starts spamming ^@ (ie. Ctrl+2 in `read`) chars continously

tl;dr: touch-sensive media key(s) got "stuck"(but not because I've pressed any!) which was causing normal keys to not repeat(when held) regularly and/or stop after 2-3 repeats(for 'f' key, though not always) and to not repeat at regular intervals. Also, scrolling up via mousewheel in xfce4-terminal would scroll back down again almost immediately. I've just encountered that issue where keys stop repeating and they don't repeat at the same rate. No keys stopped working though. But this issue was coupled with the fact that in a terminal (xfce4-terminal) I'd scroll up via mousewheel and something would cause it to scroll back down to prompt again in less than 1 second. So I can't scroll up. I immediately ran `sudo powertop` and put keyboard in Good(previously Bad) power mode, which means, it would turn off the keyboard leds(at least) after like 2 seconds of not using the keyboard. But this time it didn't! Which told me that the keyboard was acting as if some keys are still pressed or som

Razer Lycosa on Linux: sometimes starts spamming ^@ (ie. Ctrl+2 in `read`) chars continously

I have encountered this today as follows: * started up the PC, * entered simple BIOS password (that doesn't require the letter 's'), * let the computer boot into linux until the console prompt (TERM=linux), * typing the 'user' also generated ^@ with each keypress, eventually it didn't anymore, so I could log in, but at prompt typing the 's' key generated nothing, whilst any other key seems to have worked. * I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del (which also worked), * entered BIOS password, * booted linux to login prompt, logged in and everything seems to have worked so far until now a few hours later, with no issues. Thus I didn't have to replug the keyboard. Maybe the BIOS emulated the equivalent of a USB keyboard replug. I'm kind of wondering what's the equivalent of the following for BIOS and/or Linux: My Razer product does not work at startup after a cold start, what should I do? Make sure that USB ports are not in hibernation mode. Please go to your Windows “Device Manager” and click the + si
