@robrussell Thanks for the update. Could you paste the output of `sudo lsusb -v` so we can see the value of the `product` attribute of your device?

How do you differentiate mouse buttons from other key combinations? Why not program the footswitch to emit, for example, Alt+Shift+1 and bind this to the function you want?

Yes, that would be awesome!

I guess something that resembles footswitch with USB connector. But I am open to any other ideas you may have.

Does it work when you start it as root?

You need to specify number of pixels when using -x. Like this: footswitch -1 -x 10

Unfortunately the hardware doesn't support this (no such events are being sent). If someone comes up with some clever hacks how to emulate this, I'd be happy to accept it.

Looks like you don't have a C compiler installed. If you are using Ubuntu, you can try this: $ sudo apt-get install build-essential

You need to either use 'sudo footswitch ...' or install the udev rules with 'sudo make install'

Thanks for the feedback :) AFAIK, sequence of key combinations is not supported by the device (at least mine doesn't support this). You can probably try and hack something with...
