writing a linux kernel module / driver for an old keyboard / hid device

Question

I have an old Compaq keyboard that has a set of keys on top that do not work.

I have tried xev, evtest, evemu-record and libinput debug-events and every other key except those keys is recognized.

However when I turn on a wireshark usb recorder I get some output that looks like this:

0000   00 a8 6e e5 73 9c ff ff 42 01 82 0a 01 00 2d 00   ..o.s...C.....-.
0010   9e ab f1 5f 00 00 00 00 06 c6 03 00 00 00 00 00   ..._............
0020   06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................
0030   02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................
0040   04 00 00 00 00 00                                 ......

0000   00 a8 6e e5 73 9c ff ff 42 01 82 0a 01 00 2d 00   ..o.s...C.....-.
0010   a0 ab f1 5f 00 00 00 00 66 64 01 00 00 00 00 00   ..._....fd......
0020   06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................
0030   02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................
0040   04 00 00 10 00 00 

That means that the keys indeed work and I just need a to write a driver for it.

Now I have zero experience in writing linux driver but I took a look from linux/drivers/hid/ at github.com/torvalds/linux, specifically hid-asus.c and I know that I have to somehow identify each key stroke with respective hex value.

The problem is that I can figure out where to look since only the 0000, 0020 and 0030 lines of a hex dump stay the same and 0010 is different every time I record it trough wireshark.

I know this is maybe basic but can you point me in the right direction i.e. give some content I can read on on this subject or have any idea how I should proceed?

Output from evtest:

/dev/input/event12: Compaq Compaq Internet Keyboard
/dev/input/event13: Compaq Compaq Internet Keyboard Consumer Control
/dev/input/event14: Compaq Compaq Internet Keyboard System Control
/dev/input/event15: Compaq Compaq Internet Keyboard
