Support for Kemove Shadow?

[mdietrich16]

I have a Kemove Shadow DK61 which does not seem to work with this software. When I start the program with sudo there is nothing displayed, not even a failed handshake message. Since there was a changelog note 'Add "Kemove Driver" files' and the Kemove Snowfox mentioned in #76 is basically the same keyboard I thought it might work. Is this expected or can it be made to work? If so. I would be very happy to provide all the details needed.

@mdietrich16 I can't see in #76 any confirmation of Kemove Snowfox working at all. I own a Kemove Snowfox and it did not work. Why you presume that Snowfoxis working with this software?

I think if it's a compatible GK6X keyboard which is missing data files the following should be outputted to the console, if it isn't a compatible keyboard it wont output anything

GK6X/GK6X/KeyboardDeviceManager.cs

Line 226 in 96e9c04

LogHandshakeFailed(stream.Device, "Couldn't find data for keyboard");

Based on their website it should be DIERYA DK61 Pro and DIERYA DK66 which are supported. DIERYA DK61E uses different software.

@juliojgd I just assumed that the owner closing the issue after mentioning a fix was an indication of it working, even if not stated explicitly. I must have assumed incorrectly, sorry.

[mdietrich16]

@pixeltris Oh, ok. Since I get no output when running sudo gk6x when connecting my keyboard via bluetooth or cable, it must be a DIERYA DK61E or something else. Shall I close this then? And do you have any other idea what software I could use on linux?

[pixeltris]

You should be able to identify the device/vendor id through the Linux command lsusb (or similar). GK6X boards are 1ea7:0907.

There is software for DIERYA DK61E on their site, so if it's that make you could try running it under Wine (or a Windows VM if Wine doesn't work). The alternative is to reverse engineer their software and implement it in a similar way to this project.

The device:vendor id is 1ea7:9006 for me, so I guess it is not compatible. I do already have a Windows VM set up, so I have that option ready, but I like to have as much under linux as possible. Thank you for your help though!
