Fix for Corsair VOID RGB USB Gaming Headset on Ubuntu 14.04

This headset has two issues on Ubuntu 14.04:

  1. Pressing the 'mute' button also causes a middle mouse button click event, which can paste text in X.
  2. Spurious button press events are sent (sometimes after pressing the mute button for the first time). Since no corresponding button release event is sent, this causes issues in X with focus getting stuck on the current window.

To fix both issues:

  1. Copy the 70-corsair.hwdb file to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/.
  2. Run sudo udevadm hwdb --update to update the hwdb database.
  3. Unplug the headset and plug it back in (triggering the device with udevadm doesn't appear to work).
