If you turn on event support (in the input subsystem), and load the module, 
you should be able to cat /dev/input/event0 and see junk when you hit buttons 
etc.
There is a user space support for this available in the linuxconsole project 
(on sourceforge.net) in their CVS. Look for evtest.

In reality, you don't need a usb device driver, since we already have one that 
works with this device. You need an input event device driver. For a 
(simplified) diagram of how it all fits together, check:
