skimming through the hid usage tables 
( http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/Hut1_12.pdf ) i see that there 
are no MISC types anyway, only a reserverd range at the end of most usage 
tables.

this is generally the problem with hid names/usages: they thought of a lot of 
things, but it can never be complete since there are too many different 
(new?) devices.

if you look at the usage tables, what would you assign to these "hidden 
buttons" in david's device? i can see nothing that could fit....

greets,
