While doing my research to improve the xpad device names I noticed that the 1532:0037 VID/PID seems to be used by the DeathAdder 2013, so that Razer Sabertooth instance looked wrong and very suspect to me. I didn't see any mention in the official drivers, either. After doing more research, it turns out that the xpad list is used by many other projects (like Steam) as-is [1], this issue was reported [2] and Valve/Sam Lantinga fixed it [3]: [1]: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/dcc5eef0e2395854b254ea2873a4899edab347c6/src/joystick/controller_type.h#L251 [2]: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/0/1743392486228754770/ [3]: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/29809f6f0271 (With multiple Internet users reporting similar issues, not linked here) After not being able to find the correct VID/PID combination anywhere on the Internet and not receiving any reply from Razer support I did some additional detective work, it seems like it presents itself as "Razer Sabertooth Gaming Controller (XBOX360)", code 1689:FE00. Leaving us with this: * Razer Sabertooth (1689:fe00) * Razer Sabertooth Elite (24c6:5d04) * Razer DeathAdder 2013 (1532:0037) [note: not a gamepad] So, to sum things up; remove this conflicting/duplicate entry: { 0x1532, 0x0037, "Razer Sabertooth", 0, XTYPE_XBOX360 }, As the real/correct one is already present there, even if the Internet as a whole insists on presenting it as the Razer Sabertooth Elite, which (by all accounts) is not: { 0x1689, 0xfe00, "Razer Sabertooth", 0, XTYPE_XBOX360 }, Actual change in SDL2 referencing this kernel issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/e5e54169754ca5d3e86339d968b20126d9da0a15 For more information of the device, take a look here: https://github.com/xboxdrv/xboxdrv/pull/59 You can see a lsusb dump here: https://github.com/xboxdrv/xboxdrv/files/76581/Qa6dBcrv.txt Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Cameron Gutman <aicommander@xxxxxxxxx> Fixes: f554f619b70 ("Input: xpad - sync device IDs with xboxdrv") Signed-off-by: Ismael Ferreras Morezuelas <swyterzone@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Cameron Gutman <aicommander@xxxxxxxxx> --- Originally submitted here, now I have some time to try again: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/patch/b9e7cb27-1866-83bb-b453-ae265ab6bde6@xxxxxxxxx/ Tweaked the rationale a bit more and added some background information and sorted out the links to make more sense.
