A google for "linux recognize mouse as joystick" for example gives you many 
results of many people experiencing this, some even with keyboards as joysticks 
on all Distros.
I found that this bug exists at least since 2010:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-240201.html

"Hello,
I have the mouse X7, model XL-750F from A4tech. This mouse was running with 
Fedora 10 without any problems.
Now I have installed Fedora 12 and my mouse pointer always moves to one side or 
corner of the screen.
My second Logitech mouse is working fine. But it is a little bit old.
So, if anyone can help my with my A4tech mouse ... "

This is pretty huge for anyone with a Microsoft mouse, as it renders
many games unplayable.  Workarounds exist but involving udev rules but
they are device specific and have mixed results.

/proc/bus/input/devices

I have a "Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800", which is a tiny wireless
receiver for both mouse and keyboard. It gets detected as a joystick
with several axes (besides the normal mouse and keyboard).

I also have a "Wacom Graphire 4" tablet, that also gets detected as a
joystick.

Right now I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 with Linux kernel 3.19.0, but this bug
exists for several years.

Relevant lsusb lines:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for 
Bluetooth
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 056a:0016 Wacom Co., Ltd Graphire 4 6x8


I also remember that the following project also got (incorrectly) detected as a 
joystick:
https://bitbucket.org/denilsonsa/atmega8-magnetometer-usb-mouse
https://github.com/denilsonsa/atmega8-magnetometer-usb-mouse
However, I can't provide more info on it because I don't have the hardware 
anymore and it happened 4 years ago. If you really really want, I can hack that 
project again on a breadboard, but it might take a while.


Still, if you need more info regarding the Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse, 
or regarding the Wacom tablet, just ask and I can provide right away.

For those inclined to work on kernel code, the following is a good
starting point to understanding why current devices are detected as
joysticks:

 * [1] drivers/input/joydev.c:joydev_ids[]
 * [2] drivers/input/joydev.c:joydev_match()
 * [3] drivers/input/joydev.c:joydev_dev_is_absolute_mouse()

Looking at these three, it appears a joystick device will be created for
input devices which have any of the following events...

 * ABS_X
 * ABS_WHEEL
 * ABS_THROTTLE
 * BTN_JOYSTICK
 * BTN_GAMEPAD
 * BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY

... *unless* one of the following is also present (or the device appears
to be a an "absolute mouse")

 * BTN_TOUCH
 * BTN_DIGI (aka BTN_TOOL_PEN)

(You can use a tool like "evemu-record" to determine the events that are
sent from specific /dev/input/event* devices)

Possible solutions would be to improve the the filtering by adding
additional checks that filter out the problem devices without preventing
legitimate joysticks from appearing; altering the input/HID drivers that
add these events if some events are added incorrectly; or adding a
blacklist table to joydev.c that prevents the driver from matching
devices with specific IDs.
