SDL_HINT_JOY...TERED_DEVICES(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ZERO_CENTERED_DEVICES — a variable holding a whole lil list of devices that are known to have all their axes centered at zero 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ZERO_CENTERED_DEVICES "SDL_JOYSTICK_ZERO_CENTERED_DEVICES"

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, the format of this string? it's a comma separated list of USB VID/PID pairs, written out in hexadecimal form. like, literally, for example:

0xAAAA/0xBBBB,0xCCCC/0xDDDD

and here's the part that's giving ✨plot twist✨ — the variable can also take the form of "@file", and in that case the named file gets loaded and interpreted as the value of the variable. the way that it just. reads the file. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

💅 lowkey important: this hint should be set before a controller is opened. like, before. not after. before. periodt.

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0 — so if you're on anything older, no she doesn't exist yet, sorry bestie 😭

and that's the whole vibe! 🎀 this lil page came to you from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and yeah the header/footer both say SDL_HINT_JOY...TERED_DEVICES(3) because the name is long enough to need a nap 💀 under the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual. mwah, go center those axes, you got this 👑💖
