#
# These are devices that, although recognized by kernel as joysticks, are not
# joysticks. These rules will prevent the non-functional /dev/input/js* and
# /dev/input/event* devices from being used, by removing read/write permissions
# from them.
#
# This is just a blacklist, which will always be incomplete (until the actual
# bug gets fixed). Feel free to add more devices to this list.
#
#
# MODE="0000" prevents the device from being used.
#
# Clearing ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK prevents some /lib/udev/rules.d/* rules from running.
#
# It is not possible to rename a device, so NAME="not-a-joystick%n" does not work.
#
#
# HOW TO INSTALL:
#
# sudo curl -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-these-are-not-joysticks.rules https://gist.githubusercontent.com/denilsonsa/978f1d842cf5430f57f6/raw

Not sure what to do here.

My mouse identifies itself with two devices:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

...
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=1b1c Product=1b12 Version=0111
N: Name="Corsair Corsair M65 RGB Gaming Mouse"

I tried this but the devices are still generated as joystick under /dev

Corsair M65 RGB is not a joystick

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1b1c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1b12", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=="1", MODE="0000", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""

with this js0 is succesfully removed but mouse is still detected as a joystick by applications (mouse1 and event11?):
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1b1c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1b12", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=="?*", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1b1c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1b12", KERNEL=="js0", RUN+="/bin/rm %E{DEVNAME}", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""

or tried removing all that are detected as joysticks (but using the last two will make my mouse not recognized when X starts):
