I know it is frustrating, and I also got this device a while and spent
way to much time getting it working "out of the box"

As I said in my first response it does not yet just works, but I am not
an developer of bluez, just an heavy user and tester. BTW you should not
have to make any changes to the bluez config files.

I will look into it, this weekend and report back.

If you really want to try out right now, use the latest bluez git of
bluez-utils and bluez-gnome and the latest xorg git and try to get an
input event.

Best regards,
