Dropping the "class" seems logical, but calling the parameter input
seems confusing to me - to a user that doesn't want to read too much
manual/code and just wants to play around with the device (I do that
sometimes)
mouse sounds more reasonable to me.


Except that the device is more similar to a joystick than a mouse...

Agreed - joystick it is.
