[PATCH v2] Input: xpad: Delete a Razer DeathAdder mouse VID/PID entry from the gamepad list

[PATCH v2] Input: xpad: Delete a Razer DeathAdder mouse VID/PID entry from the gamepad list

[Ismael Ferreras Morezuelas]

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 },

Originally submitted here, now I have some time to try again: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/patch/b9e7cb27-1866-83bb-b453-ae265ab6bde6@gmail.com/

Tweaked the rationale a bit more and added some background
information and sorted out the links to make more sense.

TL;DR: This entry was imported from xboxdrv and it was wrong.
