@panic.button When I run the code, I am seeing 0 feature reports and get no response from the device even though it says it is connected to it.

So the code is recognizing my Dream Cheeky button (not the panic button) when I put in the VendorId 1d34 and productId 0008. But it is still not responding to any inputs from the device even though it’s saying it is connected correctly. Does anyone have any insight into this?

@John Bruin Nevermind my last request, I found Visual C#. I know a lot of people have been asking, but off the top of your head if someone was to find the vendorID and product code of the device they wanted to read from (one of the many dream cheeky buttons right now) is it as simple as just replacing those values? Or is it much more complicated to get the code to work with a non panic button?

@John Bruin Thanks, excuse my low understanding of everything, but what program do I need to use to compile this?

Does anyone have another link to the 64bit version of the software? All of the links point to a non existent file. Thanks.

Panic Button now recognised under recent Linux Kernels.
The panic button from “Dream Cheeky” (actually a button marked STRESS) sends scan codes of LSHIFT+LALT+P and is attached by default to the input stream / event device. SO.. with xmodmap one can re-program it to do anything.
