Title:
  Sharkoon Fireglider mouse is wrongly detected as a joystick

Status in udev:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

  I've been programming a game in SDL and I was surprised that SDL was
  reporting that 1 joystick was connected when there were none. SDL
  provides the name as "A4Tech USB Full Speed". "ls /dev/input" shows
  one joystick connected:

  by-id    event0  event2  event4  event6  event8  mice    mouse1
  by-path  event1  event3  event5  event7  js0     mouse0

  lsusb shows my mouse as:

  Bus 003 Device 003: ID 09da:8090 A4 Tech Co., Ltd

  Unplugging the mouse makes /dev/input/js0 disappear.
