Public bug reported:

cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 3.11.0-20.34-generic 3.11.10.6
----------------
My specific case is with a Zalman ZM-M401R. 

The current solution is recompilation of the kernel, which works, but
unfortunately turns downloading a kernel update into a huge chore.
Please fix this upstream.

Some other experiences:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/232564/sharkoon-drakonia-gaming-mouse-doesnt-work-at-all

There are literally dozens of reports about various usb gaming
peripherals not working correctly due to this.

Following the solution in the second link works well, but perhaps it
would be better for HID_MAX_USAGES to be revised to either be a sysctl
or updated to reflect newish hardware?

This is my first bug report, be gentle.
