I found an old, sealed media center remote at a thrift shop. But not all of the keys work out of the box. When I run evtest, it definitely recognizes all of the key presses, and identifies the keys correctly. But how do I assign them to things? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running Mint, by the way.

inputremapper handles this. in its UI you assign the remote’s keys to keyboard keys or mouse up/down events. it’s kinda clunky, but you’ll figure it out after a coupla tries.

It certainly does! That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you, very much! Now I just have to figure out what to use all these buttons for…
