I just need to know, which key is pressed and additional would send some 
information to the keyboard that will enable the caps-lock light or the 
num-lock light, but that seems to be another topic (even though it would 
be nice to receive an answer if you know it right now). The important 
part is, that three of the keys send back the same information back as 
it seems.

I'm right now not at the office to send the lsusb -v, will do it tomorrow
