To put the node thing to rest, that's why I did the 'ls -la':

$ls -la /dev/input/by-id
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 100 Oct 14 16:53 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 300 Oct 14 16:53 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 11 16:15 
usb-Chicony_USB_Keyboard-event-if01 -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 11 16:15 
usb-Chicony_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 14 16:53 
usb-PHILIPS_MCE_USB_IR_Receiver-_Spinel_plus-event-ir -> ../event9

Clearly shows event9. And the permissions:

$ls -la /dev/input/event9
crw-rw----. 1 root input 13, 73 Oct 14 16:53 /dev/input/event9

But again, I'm doing this all as root.
