HID-Keyboard and Feature Reports

Hello,

is it possible to register the USB-Device as a standard keyboard and simultaneously communicate with the device via Feature Reports?

I tried the following report Descriptor:

Code: Select all

0x06, 0x00, 0xff,              // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x01,                    // USAGE (Vendor Usage 1)
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // COLLECTION (Application)
    0x15, 0x00,                    //   LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)
    0x26, 0xff, 0x00,              //   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (255)
    0x75, 0x08,                    //   REPORT_SIZE (8)

    0x85, 0x01,                    //   REPORT_ID (1)
    0x95, 0x06,                    //   REPORT_COUNT (6)
    0x09, 0x00,                    //   USAGE (Undefined)
    0xb2, 0x02, 0x01,              //   FEATURE (Data,Var,Abs,Buf)

    0x85, 0x02,                    //   REPORT_ID (2)
    0x95, 0x08,                    //   REPORT_COUNT (2)
    0x09, 0x00,                    //   USAGE (Undefined)
    0xb2, 0x02, 0x01,              //   FEATURE (Data,Var,Abs,Buf)

    0xc0  ,                         // END_COLLECTION
   
   0x05, 0x01,                    // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x06,                    // USAGE (Keyboard)
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // COLLECTION (Application)
    0x05, 0x07,                    //   USAGE_PAGE (Keyboard)
    0x19, 0xe0,                    //   USAGE_MINIMUM (Keyboard LeftControl)
    0x29, 0xe7,                    //   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Keyboard Right GUI)
    0x15, 0x00,                    //   LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)
    0x25, 0x01,                    //   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)
   //0x85, 0x03,                    //   REPORT_ID (3)
    0x75, 0x01,                    //   REPORT_SIZE (1)
    0x95, 0x08,                    //   REPORT_COUNT (8)
    0x81, 0x02,                    //   INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
    0x95, 0x01,                    //   REPORT_COUNT (1)
    0x75, 0x08,                    //   REPORT_SIZE (8)
    0x25, 0x65,                    //   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (101)
    0x19, 0x00,                    //   USAGE_MINIMUM (Reserved (no event indicated))
    0x29, 0x65,                    //   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Keyboard Application)
    0x81, 0x00,                    //   INPUT (Data,Ary,Abs)
    0xc0,                           // END_COLLECTION */
   

};

In this case I can accsess the feature reports, but windows doesn't recognize the keyboard as keyboard.

Has somebody a working descriptor? Or an idea how this can work?

Thanks
Stefan
