✨ SDL_KeyboardID ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the man pages 💖 this one's about SDL_KeyboardID, and it's literally so simple you'll be done in like twelve seconds. periodt.

🎀 NAME 🎀

SDL_KeyboardID — this is a unique ID for a keyboard for the time it is connected to the system, and it is never reused for the lifetime of the application. no cap, never ever. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_keyboard.h>

typedef Uint32 SDL_KeyboardID;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. a typedef and a dream 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea 🍓: if the keyboard gets disconnected and then reconnected, it will get a new ID. the old one does not come back, she has moved on and is living her best life.

also, heads up: the value 0 is an invalid ID. like, if you see a 0, that's not a keyboard, that's a void. do not trust it. 🙈

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this datatype has been available since SDL 3.2.0. iconic behavior honestly, she's been serving since day one of 3.2. 👑
