            Bug ID: 90983
           Summary: Add :name: field for hardware matches in
                    60-keyboard.hwdb
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stefan.ku at gmx.de
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Please add an additional field :name: in hardware matches for keyboards (see
60-keyboard.hwdb) similar to what is available in 70-mouse.hwdb ("# Match
string format: # mouse:<subsystem>:v<vid>p<pid>:name:<name>:").

This way it would be possible to remap keys of only certain Logitech unifying
receiver keyboards. With the "keyboard:usb:vXXXXpYYYY*" scheme all keyboards
connected to the unifying receiver are remapped as they share the vId and pId
of the unifying receiver. They only differ in their Wireless ID, which can't be
matched at the moment.

This is also of importance for certain mice, as some of their keys pretend to
be keyboard keys. See bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035668
for a particular case (in particular comment 3 and 8).
