Controlling Bluetooth mouse gestures that register keyboard events
tl;dr
I just bought a Logitech T630. It's a Bluetooth mouse that supports several keyboard events via gestures (PDF). These gestures are fine and dandy but I have little use for them. I'm having a terrible time getting rid of them.
I want to do the following, in order of decreasing priority:
- disable these gestures
- remap the gestures (I think that without hacking the firmware or reverse engineering the Windows/OS X device drivers, this is not possible)
I don't want to:
- use Windows
- disable all gestures
For more info, read on…
buttons and gestures
The thirteen possible mouse events are:
- left click
- middle click
- right click
- scroll up
- scroll down
- scroll left
- scroll right
- swipe edge left
- swipe edge right
- two finger swipe left
- two finger swipe right
- double tap
- two finger double tap
The first seven are in order of how the OS maps them.
Only the first three are mechanical— all the other ones use the touch surface:
GUI options
Set up in Kubuntu Trusty was a breeze, but it offers little support for configuring these other gestures.
These gestures are not related to:
- touchpad (
synapticsis not running) - accessibility
- hot corners
- standard mouse gestures
All of the settings related to those have been checked and they're all off.

xinput
I thought xinput might offer some help:
$ xinput --list | grep pointer

⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Ultrathin Touch Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]

Note the 13 button labels:
$ xinput --get-button-map "Ultrathin Touch Mouse"
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Turning them off didn't help:
$ xinput --set-button-map "Ultrathin Touch Mouse" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0
Even though, e.g., it can turn the middle mouse button into a left click:
$ xinput --set-button-map "Ultrathin Touch Mouse" 1 1 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0
xmodmap
Similar to xinput, same results:
$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0"
inputkbd
Suggested by elmicha below, this is working at the kernel level, trying to make the gestures result in null keyboard events. Should work, but no luck here, either, with the following process:
$ sudo input-kbd 4 > keymap # note the 4 is from /dev/input/event4
# edit the keymap to map any combination of keys to either 0 or 240 (KEY_UNKNOWN)
# e.g. change this:
# 0x700e0 = 29 # KEY_LEFTCTRL
# to this:
# 0x700e0 = 0 # KEY_LEFTCTRL
# or this:
# 0x700e0 = 240 # KEY_LEFTCTRL
$ sudo input-kbd -f keymap 4
$ sudo input-kbd 4 # should return the updated keymap
After doing this, the keymap shows no change.
xkbcomp
This was suggested by X input hacker Peter Hutterer, certainly a man who should know what he was doing. Still, no luck:
$ xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY t630.xkb
# edit the keyboard description and replace the definition of any key to NoSymbol or VoidSymbol
# e.g. change this:
# key <LCTL> { [ Control_L ] };
# to this:
# key <LCTL> { [ NoSymbol ] };
# or this:
# key <LCTL> { [ VoidSymbol ] };
$ sudo xkbcomp -i 8 t630.xkb $DISPLAY # here the 8 is the id in xinput, names don't work
$ xkbcomp -xkb -i 8 $DISPLAY - # should return the updated keyboard description
After doing this, the keyboard description shows no change.
Peter felt that this was likely due to the fact that X is confused as to the nature of the device as a keyboard or a mouse, kind of like this bug that has the opposite problem. This may explain why all the other expected items don't work. However, he also said that using evdev should not work for the same reason.
evdev
It seemed at first to work, but it doesn't either. This attempts to leverage the generic input driver for X to set the button mapping by appending the following to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
# custom for Logitech Ultrathin Touch mouse
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech bluetooth Touch Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Ultrathin Touch Mouse"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Ultrathin Touch Mouse"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection
This seems to work without errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (using grep EE), and xinput confirms the button mapping, but it doesn't result in the desire effect.
This is known to work for the T631, however.
keyboard events
The problem lies, I think, in the fact that these gestures generate keyboard events:

As far as the keymap is concerned, these refer to:
$ sudo input-kbd 4 | grep -e KEY_LEFTCTL -e KEY_LEFTMETA -e KEY_TAB -e KEY_LEFTALT -e KEY_F23 -e KEY_RIGHTMETA -e BTN_SIDE -e BTN_EXTRA
0x700e2 = 56 # KEY_LEFTALT

0x700e2 = 56 # KEY_LEFTALT

0x700e7 = 126 # KEY_RIGHTMETA
0x90004 = 275 # BTN_SIDE
0x90005 = 276 # BTN_EXTRA
Double tap doesn't seem to do anything.
other references
It may also help to point out a reference to similar issues in a bug with the aforementioned mouse not being in the gnome-bluetooth pincode database. Needless to say, further commentary on the subject is officially offtopic on that bug report, but the references may help add some perspective on the nature of this issue.
Here's the output of evemu-describe /dev/input/event4 FWIW.
Bluetooth adapters
FWIW I've used two different USB Bluetooth adapters:
$ lsusb | grep Bluetooth
Bus 007 Device 010: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
$ lsusb | grep Bluetooth
Bus 007 Device 011: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
After a lot of pain, I managed to create a key map that does something useful.
First a couple of notes (I cannot comment yet) on the previous answer:
-
the fixMouse script provided by Mr back-up does not work, because sometimes the Keyboard entry of the mouse appears with the wrong name in xinput, i.e. in my case it shows:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ... ⎜ ↳ Ultrathin Touch Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ... ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]on the other hand you can use lsinput from input-utils to find the correct id:
lsinput 2>&1|grep -B5 "Ultrathin Touch Mouse" /dev/input/event12 bustype : BUS_BLUETOOTH vendor : 0x46d product : 0xb00d version : 1792 name : "Ultrathin Touch Mouse" for some reason when dumping the map for the mouse, some codes are duplicated (those between 0x700e0 and 0x700e7), be careful to find and eliminate them, or you wil go crazy.
-
replacing all the keycodes with KEY_UNKNOWN prevents the bursts of random characters, but renders the special touch actions useless. I found instead that you can remap some of the gestures to useful combinations. In particular the "swipe in from left" sends the codes 0x700e0+0x700e3+0x7002b, while the "swipe in from right" sends 0x700e3+0x700e3+0x70072. I mapped 0x700e3, which is common to both gestures, to KEY_UNKNOW, to get it out of the way. Then I used the remaining key codes to make CTRL+F8 (desktop grid) and ALT-F2 (runner), but of course you can generate any combination of any two keys. Here is my map, be careful when copy/pasting to leave no empty lines and no initial blank spaces (they break input-kbd):
0x700e3 = KEY_UNKNOWN 0x700e0 = KEY_LEFTCTRL 0x7002b = KEY_F8 0x700e2 = KEY_LEFTALT 0x70072 = KEY_F2 0x70004 = KEY_UNKNOWN 0x70005 = KEY_UNKNOWN 0x70006 = KEY_UNKNOWN 0x70007 = KEY_UNKNOWN 0x70008 =

I was not able to get proper codes for the two-finger swipes, but again I do not care because those gestures are impossible to perform.
P.S. In case you want to try to customize other gestures, here is how I proceeded:
I sorted the map entries, cleaned up the duplicates, and noticed that it comprises 252 symbols (plus 5 buttons).
I set the first ten symbols to KEY_A, the following ten to KEY_B and so on until the last 2 which became KEY_Z; then I loaded this map.
I perform the gestures in a text windows (or you can use "xbindkeys -mk") and take note of the letters produced.
In the map I change all the letters NOT produced to KEY_UNKNOWN, the three remaining to KEY_A, KEY_B, KEY_C.. KEY_Z, KEY_1,.., KEY_4, then I load this new MAP.
I perform the gesture again, take note of the letters/numbers produced: this are the codes that can be defined to whatever you need to make a specific key combination.
You could try to use input-kbd from the input-utils package:
$ apropos input-kbd
input-kbd (8) - print or modify keyboard maps for input devices
Using the input device index (e.g. 4 for /dev/input/event4, which can be found via lsinput which is necessarily different than the id used in xinput), you can reconfigure the keyboard map by feeding it a file with the -f switch, e.g.
$ sudo input-kbd -f some-file 4
where the some-file takes the form of scancode = keycode|keyname, where the following are equivalent:
0x0001 = KEY_F9
0x0001 = 67
You can find the current map with sudo input-kbd 4. Since you need to open a file from /dev, you do need to use superuser to event read this.
Also note despite it's apparently misleading name, it does work with mice, too.
