Well, that's the problem:

> Device:                  SEM USB Keyboard Consumer Control
> [...]
> Capabilities:            keyboard pointer 

The keyboard is telling us it's also a mouse! The presence of the words
"Consumer Control" in the name originally made me suspect it was an RF receiver
for a mouse/keyboard pair, because you often see those words used for that kind
of hardware, and those also show up as both a keyboard and a mouse.

I suspect what's going on is that the vendor cheaped out and used the same
hardware only with a wired form factor, so it still tells the system it's a
receiver for a mouse/keyboard pair even though it isn't.

Ultimately this is yet another case of the generic issue Bug 465957, which
tracks us figuring out a way to filter out these kinds of lying devices.
