Karabiner does not capture media keys on Logitech MX Keyboard

[mustafamohsen]

I examined keyboard events with the event viewer, and found that it does not respond to media keys (gif attached). As you can see, other keys are captured normally.

My setup is as follows:

• macOS 14.6.1
• Logitech MX Keys keyboard (enabled in Karabiner)
• Logi Options+ software

With reference to the documentation page and this issue, I have the following line in my karabiner.json:

"fn_function_keys": []
as well as the function keys mapped to it's corresponding F1, F1, etc.

The whole point is to keep Logi Options+ settings as is by default, then map the media keys to function keys for specific applications. The inability to capture the media keys events is standing in the way.

Extra notes:

-Media keys work totally correctly

• I further tested complex modifications which map "mute" to "f11" (with and without "fn" modifier) and nothing happened. Whereas mapping any key to "mute" did work and register mute

Please advise

Perhaps the Logitech keyboard driver is handling the media keys, so the events might not be reaching Karabiner-Elements.
If you're okay with disabling the Logitech driver, please try doing so.

In my particular case, it's indispensable. I have crucial automations linked to several of those keys. With that in mind, is there a way to yet capture those clicks?

P.S. I tested all the highlighted buttons (automation buttons) and found that all suffer from the same issue. So yes, it seems that the Logi driver is handling them.
