fine, so i presume usbhidctl(1) does not work on the device too. why did
they made look like usb hid device then?

well, for what i know ugen(4) will only claim the device if no other usb
device driver claimed it. so if the uhid(4) claimed it than (i assume)
usb interface class on the device is set to the appropriate value.

another way is to hack /sys/dev/usd/uhid.c and specifically ignore (usb
vendor id, usb product id) for the device in the MATCH routine.
something like
if (uaa->vendor == XXXX && uaa->product == XXXX)
return (UMATCH_NONE);
