"sudo hid-recorder /dev/hidraw{8,9,10}" and then touching and tapping on the touchpad

I've got this touchpad:

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-VOGEK-Rechargeable-Multi-Touch-Navigation/dp/B07NMTV9S8/

It's not recognized as a touchpad but as four /dev/input/event* devices, one being a mouse, one a keyboard and two being keys.  This means that I can basically use it but multi-touch gestures won't work.  Additionally, mouse and touchpad share the same (GNOME) settings although I'd rather use different settings for mouse & touchpad.

I've tested the device on a Windows 10 computer of a colleague, and there it worked fine out of the box without special driver (just USB HID) and supported multi-touch gestures like 3-finger swipes to switch between applications.

This is what dmesg has to say:

I'll attach the output of "sudo hid-recorder /dev/hidraw{8,9,10}", "sudo usbhid-dump --model=1357:1000", and what udevadm has to say.

All USB bugs should be sent to the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing
list, and not entered into bugzilla.  Please bring this issue up there,
if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
