Ahead of the Linux 7.1-rc4 release due out on Sunday, a variety of HID subsystem patches were merged overnight to Linux Git.
Among the HID changes now present for Linux 7.1 is adding support for newer Logitech Bluetooth keyboards to the logitech-hidpp driver. These additions enable various newer Logitech wireless keyboards to have full HID++ functionality under Linux. HID++ allows for for more advanced configuration, battery management, firmware updating, and other similar non-standardized HID functionality.
The latest Bluetooth keyboards from Logitech added with this new commit to Linux 7.1 include:
– Logitech Signature K650 & B2B
– Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380S
– Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk & B2B
– Logitech Wave Keys & B2B
– Logitech Signature Slim K950 & B2B
– Logitech MX Keys S & B2B
– Logitech Keys-To-Go 2
– Logitech Pop Icon Keys
– Logitech MX Keys Mini & B2B
– Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 B2B
– Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard K250/K251
– Logitech Signature Comfort K880 & B2B
With just adding new device IDs to the Logitech HID++ driver, these additions were fine for landing post-merge-window for Linux 7.1.
Also notable with this week’s HID merge is carrying more HID core patches for sanitization of input data. This continued input sanitization work for the Linux kernel is for dealing with potentially malicious HID hardware.
See this Git merge for all the now-merged HID changes to be found in Sunday’s Linux 7.1-rc4 release.
