Mouse events only generated with analog stick evdev events

[nikitautiu]

Description

Issue is very similar #576, but that one should be fixed. I have a custom evedev controller setup for a PiBoy DMG internal controller. I want to use the analog stick to emulate mouse input. The issue is that the daemon seems to generate mouse events only when there are analog events.

• SC-Controller version: 0.4.8 from deb
• Evdev device config JSON
• Profile

Expected behavior

The mouse events should continue being generated if the analog is not in its resting position even if it doesn't move.

Steps to reproduce

I do not have another generic controller to use with evdev, but I can consistently reproduce it with any sort of mouse config (w/ or w/o smoothing, trackball, etc).

Using this profile leads to jittery mouse movement. The mouse moves momentarily when the analog is moved to the max and gets "unstuck" only when there are extra events (eg. wiggle the analog a bit)

Default behavior:

Increasing the fuzz for the axes makes it even more noticeable due to sparser events:

sudo evdev-joystick -e /dev/input/event0 -f 20 -a 0; sudo evdev-joystick -e /dev/input/event0 -f 20 -a

Nvm. I just noticed that #576 was fixed in version 4.9.12 which is newer.
