Re: [pygame] Numeric wireless keyboard

They're on the list, if they get a chance to reply they will.  I'm not sure if it's a Pygame error or SDL or what.  Do you know what device your keyboard is mounting to?  Try using lsusb on your dev platform and again on your ARM platform, and see if they're mounting to different locations.  Then you might be able to force it to mount to the same location on the ARM platform as it does on your dev platform, and then perhaps the event parsing will be correct.  You should not be getting identical events for different keypresses though.
