If I were to guess, I would say that the firmware in

Chinese manufacturer, so I think there's little hope of getting the
information (firmware) that you need. From the pictures you supplied,
it appears the 'hid' device has been refurbished or something. The
assembly quality isn't as good as the 'midi' device.
Thus the question, "does the 'faulty' one work in Windows?" Right
now, all signs point to "you have a defect." If it's defective in
Windows, too... then case closed.
I think your best bet is to order a replacement.

Hello Gabriel,
I'm almost a 100% sure this is not a defective drum pad. People even
wrote software (or attempted to) for it to make it work with Linux:

I agree that the hid device looks refurbished and I now also noticed the
hid device has the resistor R1 while the midi device lacks this resistor.
I'll also test with Windows this week and report back.
