I have looked inside this a bit deeper. While the usbhidctl approach 
doesn't really work for this keyboard at the moment, here are my 
observations:

- the keyboard is only handled by *either* ukbd *or* uhid. In fact, if 
unpatched, uhid will not even try to consider the device because of the 
following code inside uhid.c's uhid_probe() function:

         if (uaa->use_generic == 0) {
                 /* give Mouse and Keyboard drivers a try first */
               return (ENXIO);
         }

That means that the keyboard always ends up as device ukbdX, and never 
as uhidY.

Before even trying to get it to work using uhid, I think this is the 
issue that needs to be sorted out: Can a device be handled by *two* 
independent drivers at once?
- If so, how?
- If not, what could a possible solution be?

Thanks & cheers,
