Keyboard "up" key is always pressed in Wine

[IdoSC]

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I'm using Linux Mint 17 and Wine 1.7.35, error persists on 1.7.33.

I've installed Darksiders by the instructions given in the AppDB, and it works fine, except it appears as if the up key of the keyboard is always pressed. It doesn't happen in native applications.

The keyboard is manufactured by Microsoft (connected in USB). Nothing is connected to the PC besides LAN, wireless mouse and this keyboard. Dinput/dinput 8 are set to builtin, if set to native the game won't start. Help please?

One possible (likely) cause is a kernel bug that mistakenly identifies some Microsoft keyboards as joysticks.

How do I solve it, though? I mean, I tried disconnecting the keyboard and opening the game following what you said and it still occurs.

'ls /dev/input/js*' returns '/dev/input/js0' both when I disconnect my mouse (keyboard is connected), and when I disconnect my keyboard (mouse is connected). What could it be then?

Sorry, complete PEBKAC apparently I've had my old mouse's tiny dongle plugged in (which is also manufactured by Microsoft) and that triggered the bug.
