Linux thinks that gaming mouse is also a keyboard and Defold thinks that is a gamepad

Questions

I recently got Asus TUF GAMING M3 GEN II Mouse and Defold thinks its a gamepad during build and only then. I assume this is because linux thinks that the mouse has a keyboard as its own device or something. No actual gamepad inputs happen when I press or move the mouse after the initial startup.

WARNING:INPUT: No gamepad map found for gamepad 1 (ASUSTeK TUF GAMING M3 GEN II Keyboard). The raw gamepad map will be used.

I’m not sure what to do about this, or if there is a real need to do anything. It is a bit annoying though.

I put pprint(action) inside on_input() in the first script that runs:

{ --[[0x7f7575873f10]]
  text = "ASUSTeK TUF GAMING M3 GEN II Keyboard",
  userid = 0,
  gamepad_unknown = true,
  gamepad = 1,
  gamepad_name = "ASUSTeK TUF GAMING M3 GEN II Keyboard",
  gamepad_guid = "03000000050b00009b1a000010010000",
  gamepad_guid_info = { --[[0x7f7575857650]]
    bus = 3,
    crc = 0,
    vendor = 2821,
    product = 6811,
    version = 272
  }
}

Interesting that it identifies as a gamepad! Driver issue? Which Linux variant are you using? You may as well report this in the Defold repo too.

Arch Linux. I tried to look around but only found this: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=351297 :person_shrugging:

Will do.
