It's the manufacturer of your keyboard. As is the case with modern Electronics, sometimes something manufactured by one vendor is branded and sold by another,so you may not recognize the name.

Great link!
Why is it called a mouse?
CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter Mouse
The word "pointer" on that line might be a clue. Sounds like it provides mouse and keyboard USB inputs. In ancient times computers had a pair of PS2 sockets, one for the mouse and one for the keyboard. On some places which socket you used mattered - they were distinctively coloured, but it may be that that was something the OS could deal with in software (I don't know enough) by recognising mouse input data versus keyboard input data.
