The list of axes available from a controller
Defined in SDL_gamecontroller.h
typedef enum SDL_GameControllerAxis
{1,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_INVALID = -
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_LEFTX,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_LEFTY,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_RIGHTX,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_RIGHTY,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_TRIGGERLEFT,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_TRIGGERRIGHT,
SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_MAX } SDL_GameControllerAxis;
Thumbstick axis values range from SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MIN to SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MAX, and are centered within ~8000 of zero, though advanced UI will allow users to set or autodetect the dead zone, which varies between controllers.
Trigger axis values range from 0 (released) to SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MAX (fully pressed) when reported by SDL_GameControllerGetAxis(). Note that this is not the same range that will be reported by the lower-level SDL_GetJoystickAxis().
