I apologize if I missed your previous message. I think I needed to go 
through this process to understand what you were saying.

So following [4] I can unbind the usb-hid driver. If I load mceusb, I 
now have  /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mceusb as a place to bind the device to. 
But I'm having trouble figuring that out. It seems like the device 
string changes after unbinding. I can see the receiver under ls 
/sys/bus/usb/devices/ but can't figure out what string to use to refer 
to it.

udevadm info -a /sys/bus/usb/devices/whatever shows a whole bunch of 
devices and not just the receiver.
