I can not tell exactly when the issue started, as i did not use the mats for quite some time. Tested with 4.6.0, bug exists.

So they can not be used. The hardware is working, i verified this with a windows PC. The missing events were checked with cat /dev/input/eventX, evtest, xev. On ubuntu the device is set up (udevadm has it, dmesg has it, evtest sees it), module joydev is loaded but no input is recognized/ visible and /dev/input/eventX Expected behavior: Plug and Play with the usb Dance Mat Acutal behavior: No play possible as no input events appear and so the game can not use it.
