Thanks Stanislav, I was able to fix this by following your instructions.

Here's my fix for the Plantronics .Audio 626 DSP:

1. Put this in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-plantronics.rules:

  ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_plantronics_end"
  KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="xorg_plantronics_end"
  
  ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="047f", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="c006", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}="1"
  ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="047f", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="c006", RUN+="keymap $name 
0xc00e9 volumeup 0xc00ea volumedown 0xb002f micmute"
  
  LABEL="xorg_plantronics_end"

2. Reload udev:

  sudo udevadm control --reload

3. Unplug the headset and plug it back in

Title:
  Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When I press the mute button on my USB headset (Plantronics .Audio 626
  DSP), it steals the "mouse focus" and holds onto it until I press the
  mute button again.

  Expected:

  - microphone is muted
  - nothing else happens

  Actual:

  - microphone is muted
  - mouse can still move but is unresponsive to clicks
  - pressing the keyboard doesn't do anything (except for Ctrl+Alt+F1 which 
does work and switch to virtual console)

  I'm not sure this is filed against the right package, please reassign
  if it's not. Also, I'm happy to provide more info, but I wasn't sure
  what I could provide (even after reading
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting/).

  This is on a fully up-to-date Precise 12.04 system.
