that's usually an indicator that evdev doesn't pick up the axes. keyboards
only have the device enabled property, mice have all others too.
There should be something in the log about that.

you can set any property you want, but that doesn't mean the driver will do
anything with it. In your case, because it wasn't registered by the driver
evdev will just ignore it (no input handler is set up).
So fixing why it doesn't pick up the axis should solve your issue here.
