The blacklisting is only needed to block the key presses from your remote to the X server. If you have working buttons and you are satisfied with them you don't need to block it. And it won't be a problem if you have two devices which for example can send an 'F1' key press to the X server. You won't be using the two at the same time (I assume), so the X server will only know that the key press was an 'F1', it doesn't care about whom send it.
At least this is how I see, and I couldn't even map my HID device with hid_mapper yet. : ) However, blacklisting is a must for me, because my remote switches to tty2-4 with some key presses, and sends combinations like 'CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F+F1+DEL+:D' and stuff to the X server.
