weird mouse: acts as keyboard and mouse

Hey Hans,

I have a <Logitech G500s Laser Gaming Mouse, class 0/0, rev
2.00/84.01, addr 12> which is reporting itself as both a mouse and a
keyboard.  I know that the mouse has the ability to remap itself as it
used to not do this (I was able to configure this on a mac).

The annoying effect is that the "back" and "forward" keys now report
themselves as "[" and "]" keys.

I think it would be a good idea to write a utility to configure this
stuff on FreeBSD.  What information do I need to obtain / how should I
obtain it?  I'm guessing its possible to talk to the mouse over USB
but I'm not sure how.
