Quoting from Kirk's ir-keytable output:

I. e., this is not classified by the kernel as a HID device but rather a 
remote. A quick double check should reveal if there are any /dev/hidraw* 
devices available - if not, I doubt if this link is useful here.

That said, that is an interesting link how to handle devices classified 
as keyboards. This is a complicated issue without any clean lirc-based 
solution today
