This is the adapter which I am trying to get working: Amazon - Mayflash Wii U Pro Controller usb adapter This adapter has two modes, an xbox input mode and a generic hid mode. The xbox mode works fine on Ubuntu but it only supports one controller. In generic controller mode 4 controllers are supported. I'm having difficulty using it on Ubuntu in this mode because it is moving the mouse around and games don't recognize that a controller is plugged in.

First I would like it to stop moving my mouse around. I'm hoping that fixing this problem will help me fix the second one. Here is some information to get started.

I can't disable mouse events prop because it isn't listed.

I have tried removing xserver-xorg-input-joystick and I have tried installing it and adding the custom joystick config as /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf

Section "InputClass"

        Identifier "joystick catchall"

        MatchIsJoystick "on"

        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

        Driver "joystick"

        Option "StartKeysEnabled" "False"       #Disable mouse

        Option "StartMouseEnabled" "False"      #support

I believe these are the relevant lines in dmesg:
