Cheers mate, that's great! Could you let me know if I'm using your script the right/best way... I'm doing the following:

1) Boot device, connect keyboard.
2) Open X Terminal, run setxkbmap manually.
3) Slide open built-in keyboard, press key.
4) In X Terminal, run 'nohup python keys.py &' (keys.py is your script). Close terminal.
5) Thereafter, whenever keyboard dis/reconnects, press a key on the built-in keyboard and the map will be reset.

Do you normally have to run setxkbmap manually? Are you placing your script in with the system init scripts or running as user?

Many thanks again
