This is perfect.  It shows that the H key is reported using the 
interrupt endpoint on interface 1, which explains why it's not working 
with usbhid.  It also shows that the rejected Set-Idle request doesn't 
matter.

At this point I don't know what the problem is, but now there's plenty 
of information in the email thread for the people on linux-input to 
debug this.
