The existence of the xwayland things makes me think you might
have problems involving Wayland, which I am definitely not
qualified to diagnose.
My xinput shows:
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master
pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M510 id=11 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech M570 id=12 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Blue Microphones Yeti Stereo Microphone id=10 [slave
pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master
keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ gspca_zc3xx id=13 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ CM Storm Quickfire TKL 6keys id=14 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ CM Storm Quickfire TKL 6keys id=15 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=16 [slave
keyboard (3)]
which is a little weird because the mute button on the USB
microphone makes it a keyboard; but otherwise, you can see what
sort of things it ought to be showing.
Hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction.
