A HID mouse is universal because every manufacturer uses the same HID paramaters. But non-standard HID controllers like the F1 are only useable by applications that know how to connect to the device. Final Cut will never add the F1 into their supported device lists, for example, so no matter how hard you try you couldn't use it to help edit video.
And I believe it works the other way too. NI developed a set of functions for the F1 that can only be activated by the specific HID data created by the F1. Remix decks should be impossible to use with any other device without rewriting it to match the HID data of the F1.
That sounds proprietary to me.
