Finally I got hold of a T3-M remote.
Fun fact: it was ordered trough eBay from China, but after the first two orders both ended up arriving as an MX3 (so refunded), and the 3rd gave up the order after I double checked with them whether it is really a T3, the 4th order was finally a T3.
As I use it with Linux (Debian Jessie, Gnome3) I thought I will share my findings, maybe somebody will get some use of it.

First the functions:
The remote is a T3-M model, it has the audio feature.
It gets recognized on the USB as a composit HID device with vendor ID 0x1d57 (Xenta) product ID 0xad03 version 0x101.
Manufacturer name (Input device name in evtest device list): "FREEWAY TECHNOLOGY"
It has some subdevices: audio control, audio streaming, keyboard, mouse.
The state of the mouse gets memorized until battery changing.
The remote has 3 state changing buttons: TV, MOUSE DISABLE, Fn (on the backside), all other keys are sending valid, recognizable keycodes.

Now the keycode/value layout map. The position of each entry is matched with the physical position of the corresponding button on the remote. This is the air mouse/D-pad side, the keyboard side is pretty straightforward.

Code:

Keycode layout for the T3-M RF Remote and Air Mouse:
Normally all keycodes come through the keyboard device (the first in the evtest listing).
Keys marked with asterisk (*) change function according to the air mouse enable/disable function:
  - if mouse is disabled the normal keycodes are used.
  - if mouse is enabled, the normal keycodes are not sent for these two keys, instead alternative codes are sent through the second input device (mouse):
      KEY_ENTER(70028) ->    BTN_LEFT(90001)
      KEY_ESC(70029)   ->    BTN_RIGHT(90002)
The microphone key sends the keycode KEY_F16 right before starting the transmission of audio. It does not send anything at the end of transmission.


KEY_POWER (10081)

KEY_REWIND(c00b4)       KEY_FASTFORWARD(c00b3)  KEY_PREVIOUSSONG(c00b6) KEY_NEXTSONG(c00b5)
KEY_F3(7003c)           KEY_PLAYPAUSE(c00cd)    KEY_ZOOMIN(c022d)       KEY_ZOOMOUT(c022e)

           KEY_COMPOSE(70065)     KEY_HOMEPAGE (c0223)    KEY_UNKNOWN(700bb)

                                   KEY_UP (70052)
                 KEY_LEFT(70050)   *KEY_ENTER(70028)  KEY_RIGHT(7004f)
                                   KEY_DOWN(70051)

KEY_VOLUMEUP(c00e9)     *KEY_ESC(70029)         KEY_ENTER(70028)        KEY_PAGEUP(7004b)
KEY_VOLUMEDOWN(c00ea)   KEY_MUTE(c00e2)         MOUSE_ON_OFF(N/A)       KEY_PAGEDOWN(7004e)

KEY_1(7001e)            KEY_2(7001f)            KEY_3(70020)            KEY_CONFIG(c0183)
KEY_4(70021)            KEY_5(70022)            KEY_6(70023)            KEY_MAIL(c018a)
KEY_7(70024)            KEY_8(70025)            KEY_9(70026)            KEY_WWW(c008a)
TV_RF_IR_SWITCH(N/A)    KEY_0(70027)            KEY_BACKSPACE(7002a)    KEY_F16(7006b)

KEY_F4(7003d)           KEY_F5(7003e)           KEY_F6(7003f)           KEY_F7(70040)

These values can be used to create a map using udev:

Code:

#Keymap file for the T3-M RF Remote and Air Mouse devices
#This file goes as 60-keyboard.hwdb symlink into the /etc/udev/hwdb.d/ directory

#after changing this file, these commands should be run:
#udevadm hwdb --update
#udevadm trigger
#udevadm control --reload

keyboard:usb:v1D57pAD03*
KEYBOARD_KEY_10081=f24     #KEY_POWER - Power Button
KEYBOARD_KEY_700bb=tab     #KEY_UNKNOWN - Recent Button (double rectangles on each other)

Important: the forum engine eats the first (and single) space character in front of KEYBOARD_KEY_xxxx but it is a must.

The above code changes the Recent button to send a TAB code (aka. Fullscreen), and the Power button to send an F24 code.
The last is a hack for me to be able to make a custom script work, which will turn off the display on my machine (actually rather send the display to sleep) when I press Power.

Ps: as I currently own both MX3 (2 of them :-) and a T3-M remote I must say the T3-M is way more thought out than the MX3. The T3 only sends keypresses through that device where they belong while the MX3 was more of a mumble-jumble, sending some keys using the mouse some keys using the keyboard device. And btw. they changed the key codes for the PrevSong/NextSong - Rew/FF keypairs to better match the symbol on the key. Now I only miss the Win button...

Ps2: now I see that the forum engine messes up my carefully layed out tables.... pfff.  

Hi. Where can I find the key codes please (tab;f24;stop...)? Thank you.... I have a T3-M v1D57pAD03 ....
