It is, and that's a good pointer, thanks.

However, my keyboard is "special" :(
I tried using the example config from usbhidaction(8), but get:
usbhidaction: config file `/etc/usbhidaction.conf', line 2, HID item not found: 
`Consumer:Consumer_Control.Consumer:Volume_Up'

# usbhidctl  -f uhid0 -a 
usbhidctl: USB_GET_REPORT(input) [probably not supported by device]: 
Input/output error

# usbhidctl -f uhid0 -r
Report descriptor:

range 0..1023

It also attaches a uhid1, but that looks unrelated:
# usbhidctl -f uhid1 -r
Report descriptor:

End collection

What next?
