SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie so <SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS> is a variable that controls whether your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers will be in vertical mode when you're using the HIDAPI driver. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS"

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, this variable can be set to the following values, and you will pick one of them, no cap:

• "0" — Left and right Joy-Con controllers will not be in vertical mode. this is the default, it's giving "we're being normal about this" 🙈
• "1" — Left and right Joy-Con controllers will be in vertical mode. go off, hold them however you want, main character energy 👑

🫶 little heads up bestie: this hint should be set before opening a Joy-Con controller. set it early or the moment's gone, fr fr.

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, it's not there and we don't talk about it 💀
