This appears on nearly all Microsoft devices and all Wacom tablets (though I guess the interference between Wacom tablet and Steam is not much of a problem :-P ). Anyway, this should fix a long standing issue (since 2011 apparently). It's still unclear whether this will fix all the spurious joydev nodes for other vendors too (A4Tech mice notably).
