Thanks.

There was no output from evemu-record when I pressed the macro keys. The
keyboard itself locks up and doesn't send any more key press signals (I
have to unplug it from the usb port and plug it in again). I tried writing
a hid driver and the kernel calls back the event handler function in my
driver for normal key presses. But when I hit a macro key it, that signal
doesn't make it to my event handler in the driver. Anyway I'll guess I'll
keep investigating.
