Same behavior on fully updated Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu
16.04) with linux kernel 4.4.0-31.
I see my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 as "Microsoft Microsoft®
2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0" with Axes:37 Buttons:75 as
Device:/dev/input/js0 on jstest-gtk.
On Doom & Destiny it really treats the transceiver as a joystick and
registers a constant "directional up" from it, making the game
unplayable.

Title:
045e:0745 Microsoft keyboard being detected as a joystick
Status in Linux:
New
Status in Linux Mint:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
The keyboard/receiver in my case is a 045e:0745 Microsoft Wireless
Keyboard 3000, and a quick jstest says the following: "Joystick
(Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v6.0) has 37 axes and 57
buttons".
The main problem with this seems to be that in any application that
uses a joystick, navigation is impossible because the keyboard
joystick device /dev/input/js0 keeps sending nonsense to the
application. (usually resulting in the "cursor" ending in left
top/bottom corner).
A way to bypass this might be to rmmod joydev, but this will naturally
prevent the use of actual joysticks.
