I can tell by process of elimination:
mythtv ~ # ls -l /dev/input/by-id/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 Jan 28 02:49 usb-1430_RedOctane_USB_pad-event-joystick -> ../event1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   6 Jan 28 02:49 usb-1430_RedOctane_USB_pad-joystick -> ../js0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 Jan 28 02:49 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver_1C9DDB-event-kbd -> ../event2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 Jan 28 02:49 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver_1C9DDB-event-mouse -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 Jan 28 02:49 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver_1C9DDB-mouse -> ../mouse0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 Jan 28 02:49 usb-RedOctane_RedOctane_USB_Pad-event-joystick -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   6 Jan 28 02:49 usb-RedOctane_RedOctane_USB_Pad-joystick -> ../js1

I don't see a device for imon in /dev/input/by-id but its the
only one left that makes sense:

mythtv ~ # ls -l /dev/input/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    180 Jan 28 02:49 by-id/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    200 Jan 28 02:49 by-path/
