Evdev and joystick on passtrough,windows see it as mouse

I have setup a working vm with gpu passtrough
To avoid the use of synergi(commercial) or double keyboard/mouse(sic!) I passtrough my three usb devices using EVDEV
Editing the vm I put those lines
Code:
  </devices>
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-object'/>
    <qemu:arg value='input-linux,id=mouse1,evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-object'/>
    <qemu:arg value='input-linux,id=kbd1,evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd,grab_all=on,repeat=on'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-object'/> 
    <qemu:arg value='input-linux,id=joypad1,evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_R__Precision_TM__Gamepad-event-joystick'/> 
  </qemu:commandline>


And i can swith between the machine with gpu and linux host simply use ctrlLEFT+ctrlright
Mouse work..
Keyboard too...
But joystick not..is recognized as hid mouse(sic!),if I pass it using spice is recognized as joypad(which is good).
Why?

Does your system have this log file?

Code:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/win10.log

I read somewhere on the net in an archive that some admins said they needed to have the parameters grab_all=on and repeat=on added in the config for all the entries.

You might have more luck getting help if you post the full details of your system.

The machine is old windows 2000 because I like to play only with old games
But I've tried also with XP and Windows8.1
Same result,keyboard ok,mouse ok..joystick not,Windows 2000 cannot see it
XP and 8.1 see it as mouse!
