Comment (by mmlr):

 This is "expected" right now, as usb_hid doesn't, in the current form,
 enumerate devices by their application collections but by their report
 items. Gamepads and joysticks or anything with an X and Y axis are
 therefore interpreted as mice and can be used as such. This was originally
 by design to get things working. It'd not be a problem per se either, as
 when not using the devices it should simply not move the cursor. However,
 since the null states and units aren't implemented either, these devices
 will cause the described symptoms. I'm currently restructuring the usb_hid
 driver (see #7354) which will change the enumeration. After that proper
 support for these device types will be added (see #7429 and #7354 again).
