Eject 0xB8 key makes disc drive tray open on ubuntu.

Windows 10 does not seems to recognize both 0xB8 and 0xCC.

[tmk]

Can we replace 0xCC with 0xB8 simply?

Yes, probably. There will be no big problem.

Now, TMK KC_EJCT(and AC_EJCT) are 'Eject 0xB8 of Consumer Page 0x08' as same as Apple Magic Keyboard.

MacOS should recognize the key. Not tested yet.

Prebuilt firmwares other than hhkb project should be compiled but not yet.
