The default udev rules should set up access to the joystick devices
the right way automatically: the user on the console as well as all
users in the "input" group should get access to it automatically.

Writing such udev rules should not be necessary.

Anyway, this is not an upstream systemd issue. If you have trouble
with how your distribution handles joystick devices by default, please
ping your downstream distribution and not us upstream.

Thank you very much for understanding,

Lennart
