Hi Martin,
I've been playing around on my Fedora partition and I can't seem to replicate the problem. These listings by id are symlinks to "files" in /dev/input:
address@hidden input]$ cd by-id
address@hidden by-id]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45 usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45 usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45 usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-mouse -> ../mouse0
In this case, usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd is just a symlink to event3 in /dev/input
For the moment you could try typing
> cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Which will list all your devices.
If your input devices change, this id might change. I might be able to automate this procedure. Good luck.
