Paul: the difference between your setup and mine is the fact that
there's only one receiver for both the wireless keyboard and the mouse.

Ah!  Big difference.

The keyboard does get detected, but then I only see this Human Interface
Device which basically seems to do nothing (what can an HID do, btw?).

HID is an acronym for "Human Interface Device" and refers to anything that humans interact with - keyboards, mice, microphones, joysticks, graphics tablets, etc.

Here's the usbdevs output:

addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC
 addr 4: PSC 750, Hewlett-Packard
 addr 3: USB Optical Mouse, A4Tech
 addr 2: Synaptics WheelPad, Synaptics Inc.
addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC
 addr 2: Microsoft Wireless Optical DesktopĀ® 2.10, Microsft
addr 1: EHCI root hub, NEC

Since the MS Wireless Optical Desktop is being detected correctly, I would assume that FreeBSD has the appropriate drivers for it. If you have access to a Windows box, I'd connect it to that and see if the mouse is detected. If not, it's obviously defective. If it is, then at least you know communication between the mouse and the keyboard receiver is working.
