Description Peter Hutterer 2017-08-15 08:20:11 UTC

Trying to unset ID_INPUT and associated tags is 'fun' but it'd be easier to just set a libinput-specific property to ignore it. This also caters for the case where the device remains a input device in general but libinput cannot/should not handle it.

I'm taking the liberty to link https://gist.github.com/fghaas/3406be59095de212182f1803a503a64b for future reference (and for the benefit of other interested parties) here. It seems that at least for this specific input device, the documented/preferred way to disable via libinput doesn't work.
