libinput treats the ranges BTN_MISC to BTN_GEAR_UP and BTN_DPAS to BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY40 as pointer buttons since it does not support joystick/gamepads yet. So we get a pointer button down event... so there are probably two places to fix. libinput should grow to support joysticks, and mir should support more mouse buttons. And convert all the others as key events until we support joysticks/gamepads too.
