SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_LG4FF(3)

💖 NAME 💖

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_LG4FF — bestie, this is the variable that controls whether the HIDAPI driver for some Logitech wheels should be used. That's it, that's the whole job. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so first you gotta pull in the header, standard behaviour:

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_LG4FF "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_LG4FF"

yeah the macro literally just expands to that same string, it's giving "I am what I am" 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the variable can be set to these values, no cap:

• "0" — the HIDAPI driver is not used. nope. not today. 🙈
• "1" — the HIDAPI driver is used. slay, we're doing it. 🔥

the default is literally the value of SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI — so it's inheriting the vibe from its parent hint, very "I got it from my mama" energy 💜

⚠️ heads up bestie: this hint should be set before initializing joysticks and gamepads. the way that timing matters... set it early or it just won't hit, fr fr. 😭

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this hint has been available since SDL 3.4.0 ✨ so if you're on anything older, sorry babe, it's not gonna be there. 👑
