Description:

As a small mis-calibration of the joystick causes the mouse pointer to drift across the screen.

Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"

I think it would be a fair assumption that the majority of people with joysticks won't want to use them to control the mouse.

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  The whole point of installing this driver is to use the joystick as mouse. If you don't want to have it configured as mouse, don't install the driver.
