So the keyboard signal comes to the mouse endpoint.
One possible solution is to have a quirk in ums driver that would post
the event to the corresponding ukbd instance. Since these are really the
keyboard signals.
Microsoft makes some of the best mice today (IMO, based on the research
of what's available from all vendors). That's why I want FreeBSD to
support their mice better.
I will do some research, also will try to partially reverse-engineer the
protocol. It might be something in their protocol that makes keyboard
signals be piped into the mouse pipe.
