Yes, we need to trust Logitech on this. There's isn't anything
documented regarding this AFAIK.

Even if Logitech released a device with index 7 that didn't support
HID++, it wouldn't be that big of an issue. We would just end up with a
hidraw node which would export a vendor page report descriptor but the
device wouldn't actually reply to anything.
