SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI(3)

💖 SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI 💖

okay bestie, so this is a manual page from the Simple Directmedia Layer crew — yes, the SDL3 functions crowd — and today's main character is SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI. It's a hint variable. A little switch you flip. A vibe check for your controller stack. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI — a variable that controls whether the HIDAPI driver for Flydigi controllers should be used. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_FLYDIGI"

like, you literally just include the header and there's the macro, sitting there, ready, iconic ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way this works, you can set this variable to these values:

• "0" — nope, the HIDAPI driver is not used. she's sitting this one out 🙈
• "1" — yep, the HIDAPI driver is used. she's on the team, she's playing 🎮

the default? it's the value of SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI. so if you never touch this one, she just copies whatever the big sis hint says. inheritance, but make it slay 👑

⚠️ okay listen — this hint should be set before initializing joysticks and gamepads. before. like, set it first, then do the thing. not after. do not be late to this party or it won't count fr fr 😭

---

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this hint has been around since SDL 3.4.0 — so if you're on something older, sorry babe, she doesn't exist yet 💀

---

and that's the whole page!! no notes, no cap, you now know everything this hint has to offer 🦋

this was brought to you by the lovely people at Simple Directmedia Layer, from SDL 3.4.18, living in manual section 3 as SDL_HINT_JOYS...IDAPI_FLYDIGI(3) 🫶

stay hydrated, set your hints early, and go read the SEE ALSO section of your heart 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅
