So If I understand correctly, this keyboard identifies itself with Apple
VID, but in fact it is not.

I'd like to make sure that we don't break the real
USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_ALU_REVB_ISO device produced by Apple; CCing Dan

AFAIK the Apple keyboard with the same pid is a USB one and is already handled by hid-apple. This one is a bluetooth keyboard so probably does not really clash and even if there's an Apple wireless keyboard with the same pid it's more likely we want hid-apple for that too so it's unlikely to break anything. (This Matias keyboard looks and acts like an Apple keyboard so probably uses this vid/pid to have macOS work better with it out of the box without needing additional setup.)
