You can mark devices as floating via:
Section "InputClass"
     Identifier "Custom Input Blacklist"
     MatchProduct "<Product-Name-of-Your-Device>"
     MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
     Option "Floating" "on"
EndSection

Also see "man xorg.conf" and search for "Floating".

An alternative to X config file is the xinput command line tool

$> xinput list
to get the name and id of your device
$>xinput float NAME_OR_ID
to "detach" the device from the virtual core keyboard
(the name will be stable while id can change after unplug or restart,
thus name is a better candidate for scripting)
