Thanks, do you know a way of blacklisting devices in bluez (udev/hal rule or something), otherwise the only solution would be modified input plugin which ignores sixaxis vid/pid. Problem is that I do not have such device so even if I make modified input plugin there is no way I could test it. And I am wondering how several people reported that they have sixaxis and mouse and keyboard working simultaneously.

BTW input plugin (for those who have installed libconbtui0-hid) could be easily disabled with executing (as root)

/opt/usr/bin/btinputplugin disable
