G20S PRO - Remote Control

keys remaps

  • button - home - KEY_HOME - Present Windows (Current Desktop)
  • button - light - KEY_COMPOSE -> KEY_LEFTMETA -> Andromeda launcher
  • button - back - KEY_BACK -> KEY_ESC : So navigation on youtube and other apps is possible

On kde settings-> keyboard -> shortcuts KWin -> Present Windows (Current Desktop) - set remote control key - Home

Setup

sudo apt instal evtest
#check remote control events

HID definition - Patch and Rebind

Thanks for: https://github.com/stanford-scs/hid-g20s, for the real solution.

Problem - requires restart bluetooth - after first connection for remote control to work (for example after reboot).
Remote Control must be in connected bluethooth state.

  • /usr/local/bin/g20s-bluetooth-rebind.sh
#!/bin/bash
REMOTE_MAC="00:00:00:00:00:00"  # Replace with your remote's MAC
echo "starting..."
# Wait until the remote is connected
until bluetoothctl info "$REMOTE_MAC" | grep -q "Connected: yes"; do
  echo "Waiting for connection..."
  sleep 2
done
echo "Restarting Bluethooth"
# Restart Bluetooth to trigger HID rebind
systemctl restart bluetooth

 chmod +x /usr/local/bin/g20s-bluetooth-rebind.sh

# /etc/systemd/system/g20s-bluetooth-rebind.service
