What the *keypad* does, after plugging in the usb keyboard, is act as a mouse. I've never seen this... it's kinda cool, actually. Like using an etch-a-sketch. This is what the device is: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard as /class/input/input8 input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c315 Logitech, Inc. Some of the bug reports regarding this keyboard have to do with misidentification as a mouse, so maybe that satisfies me enough to let it drop. Maybe at some point in the future it'll just work...
