Bug happens on fully updated Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu 16.04) with linux kernel 4.4.0-31.
I see my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 as "Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0" with Axes:37 Buttons:75 as Device:/dev/input/js0 on jstest-gtk. On Steam version of Doom & Destiny it really treats the transceiver as a joystick and registers a constant "directional up" from it, making the game unplayable. On Steam version of The Banner Saga it works as keyboard but at the same time when I try using volume up and volume down it detects these as a gamepad input and starts the built-in gamepad setup in mid-game. ** Also affects: linuxmint Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390959 Title: 045e:00b0 Microsoft keyboard and 045e:0745 nano transceiver recognised as joystick - interferes with some games To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/390959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
