Comment (by LukasThyWalls):

 Hello!

 I just found the same issue yesterday again and looking up I totally
 forgot that I was the one pointing out the issue here...

 I have to add that I found a way to completely disable the joystick.
 Looking up in Google again, the AI blurb said something about adding
 "joystick=-1" into ScummVM.ini (something that is wrong, thanks AI).

 [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2026.3.0/advanced_topics/configuration_file.html
 But looking the configuration keys in ScummVM.ini], there is a
 ''joystick_num'' that you can set to -1 (''joystick_num=-1'') and then the
 whole joystick settings are disabled (even in the GUI).

 It's supposed to be to select the enabled joystick (If there is more than
 one) and with -1 it seems to select no one.

 Anyway, the main point of the request is still valid: these options are
 half-there but there are not exposed on the GUI, and also you can't enable
 them per game, only all or nothing.

 Thanks!
