It does this using the VID + vendor-defined interface subclass and interface number, not the VID+PID combos. xpad_device[] just provides a friendly name and quirk flags for some supported gamepads. Gamepads that aren't in the list will just show up as "Generic X-Box pad" with no quirk flags applied. If 1532:0037 is actually a mouse, it's unlikely we'd even reach the probe() in the first place. The device would lack the expected vendor-defined Xbox interface that is required for xpad to attach to the device. All that said, I'm definitely not opposed to removing the entry if it isn't a real gamepad. Given the difficulty you had finding information about this device, I take it you don't have any 'lsusb -v' output for this device, right? Regards, Cameron

Yeah, the main idea is to clean the list, even if as you say it hasn't caused mouse issues and that's why probably nobody has noticed it before. Because, for some reason, everyone assumes some kind of correctness even when most of these are community-sourced and self-reported, everyone copies these lists from somewhere else. Hopefully the fixes will trickle downstream. So yeah, I know for sure that (for example) the internal list Valve uses comes right from here: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/7d94464f10f7/src/joystick/controller_type.h#l246 (It's commented out) Actual change referencing this kernel issue: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/29809f6f0271 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 So yeah, let me know what you guys think. This has been a weird tangent for me. :)

We wouldn't reach xpad_probe(), but it's a good idea to get rid of it anyway to ensure that other projects using the our list won't be misled like SDL was. On the off chance Razer did release an Xbox gamepad with that VID/PID, we'll still enumerate it properly in xpad using the generic controller codepath. So this patch looks good to me.

While doing my research to improve the xpad device names I also 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, this issue was reported and Valve/Sam Lantinga fixed it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/0/1743392486228754770/ (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 }, That's it. No other functional changes intended.
