Mouse operation not supported under Chrome OS
Hi,
I found this an excellent project because most software mappers only available to Mac/Windows, but I use Linux/Chrome OS a lot.
I purchased Waveshare RP2350A USB-A and updated firmware, tested with most simple "mouse left/right key swap" which works nice under my Linux laptop. However when I move the whole set to my Chromebook, although I still see 2 HID devices being recognized like Linux, only "keyboard" can be recognized in Chrome OS setting, which means I can only use HID remapper with keyboard only, so how should I troubleshoot this?
Hi,
it's just a wild guess, but it might be the case that Chrome OS only supports devices with "HID Boot Protocol", which is not the case for the mouse part of the hid-remapper, see issue 94.
It works for me. The only thing that doesn't work on ChromeOS as far as I know is absolute mouse.

No.
Does it show up as single or multiple device?

Not sure what you mean. It shows up under keyboards and it shows up under mice, like any combo device.
Because in my Chromebook it's only showing extra keyboard but no mouse, looks like it never recognize any mouse device.

May I ask if you are using single or dual Pico? If dual Pico is the only way then I'll go for it.
OK I found the problem (or is it expected?), when I plug the Pico to Chromebook without mouse on the other side of Pico, it won't work in ChromeOS; When I plug the mouse to Pico and plug the USB-C to Chromebook, the mouse will work.
The same thing observed under normal Linux PC as well.
