MadCatz mice are multi function gaming mice.  Linux treats them as both a mouse and a joystick.  Side note, Windows only sees them as mice.  Unfortunately, while SDL1 detects the joystick part, SDL2 does not.


src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:367 has
/* !!! FIXME: only finds sticks if they're called /dev/input/event[0..31] */

It looks like the mouse is reported as an event and mouse, while the joystick is just reported as js0.

Ryan, weren't we going to resurrect the js0 code?
