MX Anywhere 3 shown as keyboard

[gpolydoros]

If only my MX Anywhere 3 is connected, UPower correctly shows a mouse icon. The moment I power on my MX Keys, the icon for the MX Anywhere 3 changes from mouse to keyboard:

[ppiastucki]

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem.

[HironTez]

I have the same problem with MX Master 3S M

How can we help you find the problem?

[ppiastucki]

I've made some changes in v18, I am not sure if they fix the problem but please give it a try.

[HironTez]

Unfortunately, it didn't help. But here's some additional info:

• It only happens when the keyboard is connected. It works fine when I don't connect the keyboard.
• The icon is correct at first, but changes after a second.
• Once the icon has changed, it stays the same even if the keyboard is disconnected.

[ppiastucki]

How is the mouse/keyboard connected? Via bluetooth? Is so, please check what icons are shown in the bluetooth settings.

[HironTez]

Yes. And the icons are correct there

[ppiastucki]

Would you be able to run journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell | grep upower-battery and provide the log entries related to the test scenario?

[HironTez]

Sure. Here I activate Bluetooth, connect the mouse and then the keyboard.

[HironTez]

Btw. i just tried Bluetooth Battery Meter and it shows correct icons

[ppiastucki]

It looks like device kind is returned as 6 (keyboard, see https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/UPowerGlib-1.0/enums.html#UPowerGlib.DeviceKind.KEYBOARD) for both MX Keys Mini and MX Master 3S M by UPower. It does not seem to be correct.

[ppiastucki]

Please try upower -d and see what it returns. If your mouse is identified as a keyboard I think you will have to report it to UPower devs. Here is a similarly looking problem: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/issues/128.

[HironTez]

Sorry, I upgraded to Ubuntu 24 with Gnome 46 and this extension doesn't support it yet. I will be happy to help when Gnome 46 support is added.

[HironTez]

I don't think this is a problem with your extension.

Is there another way to get info about devices? Because Bluetooth Battery Meter shows correct icons

[ppiastucki]

As mentioned before, please run upower -d and see what it returns. If the output is incorrect then it means the problem is in UPower and you need to report it there. I believe Bluetooth Battery Meter uses bluetooth manager and reports the info for bluetooth devices only. This extension uses UPower purposely to be able to report the info for USB and other devices too.

[HironTez]

I reported the issue and it will be resolved. Thanks for your help.
