 In theory - to remap the functions of our controller - it should be possible to provide a **specific keylayout file** for just this controller: Android's instructions say to simply create a file with the name **Vendor_ffff_Product_0000.kl** (see the vendor and product read from the ''/proc/bus/input/devices'' pseudofile). Unfortunately this does not work, may be because ffff and 0000 are not valid ID values. In theory - to remap the functions of our controller - it should be possible to provide a **specific keylayout file** for just this controller: Android's instructions say to simply create a file with the name **Vendor_ffff_Product_0000.kl** (see the vendor and product read from the ''/proc/bus/input/devices'' pseudofile).
