I am trying to map "BTC USB Multimedia Cordless Keyboard" using Input Devices Peripherals.
Some buttons (numbers, volume up/down ...) are mapped without problem. But color buttons, Guide, LiveTV, Video and other similar buttons can't be mapped.

Evtest lists 2 BTC device events:
/dev/input/event2: BTC USB Multimedia Cordless Keyboard
/dev/input/event3: BTC USB Multimedia Cordless Keyboard

Selecting the device event number 2, supported events are listed and they can be mapped.

Selecting the device event number 3, part of supported events list follows:
Select the device event number [0-4]: 3
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x46e product 0x5577 version 0x111
Input device name: "BTC USB Multimedia Cordless Keyboard"
Supported events:
...
Event code 389 (KEY_DVD)
Event code 391 (KEY_MP3)
Event code 392 (KEY_AUDIO)
Event code 393 (KEY_VIDEO)
Event code 396 (KEY_MEMO)
Event code 397 (KEY_CALENDAR)
Event code 398 (KEY_RED)
Event code 399 (KEY_GREEN)
Event code 400 (KEY_YELLOW)
Event code 401 (KEY_BLUE)
...
and these events are not sent to xbmc and I don't know how to map them.
How to connect events from device event number 3 to xbmc, how to map color buttons for example.
Thanks.
