Hi @TGSec
What version of Python are you using, and what graphical environment?
And I need you to try two things. First, the simplest possible test or key detection, just printing the events as they come:
import keyboard
def p(event):
print(event)
keyboard.hook(p)
Just mash the keyboard and see if anything is printed.
Second, on linux the library tries to hook keys by reading from /dev/input/by-id/*-event-kdb
and the devices at /proc/bus/input/devices
that are listed as kbd
. Can you check if those two exist and are behaving as expected? I can give more instructions on how to test this if you need.

I was having the same problem as @TGSec.
Also tried the code snippet suggested and still nothing. The issue for me at least is a missing *-event-kbd file in /dev/input/by-id
. I'm on a laptop so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it but when I plug in a usb keyboard a new *-event-kbd is generated and everything works.
It looks like the built in laptop keyboard listed in /proc/bus/input
has a *event-kbd file in /dev/input/by-path
and not /dev/input/by-id
. If I understand correctly these are symlinks referring to events one directory up, is the problem simply that the relevant *event-kbd file exists in the by-path folder but not the by-id folder?

I can't reproduce on any of the machines I have, including a notebook, so I'm taking a shot in the dark. Took me a year, but I've added code to check both by-id and by-path if one or the other is missing.
If somebody who can reproduce the problem is reading this, please try the master branch and let me know if the problem has been fixed.
