You might think you could identify it by manufacturer/model (VID/PID) or even serial number, but all those are easily modifiable by a serious attacker for a given target.
It might make shotgun/blind attacks harder, but ultimately it wouldnt' be much more secure than MAC filtering on your network router.
There are also plenty of non-keyboard HID types that could potentially generate unwanted input of this sort, although not quite as easily.
