# SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HAPTIC_AXES A variable containing a list of devices and their desired number of haptic (force feedback) enabled axis. ## Header File Defined in [SDL_hints.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_hints.h) ## Syntax ```c #define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HAPTIC_AXES "SDL_JOYSTICK_HAPTIC_AXES" ``` ## Remarks The format of the string is a comma separated list of USB VID/PID pairs in hexadecimal form plus the number of desired axes, e.g. `0xAAAA/0xBBBB/1,0xCCCC/0xDDDD/3` This hint supports a "wildcard" device that will set the number of haptic axes on all initialized haptic devices which were not defined explicitly in this hint. `0xFFFF/0xFFFF/1` This hint should be set before a controller is opened. The number of haptic axes won't exceed the number of real axes found on the device. ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI), [CategoryAPIMacro](CategoryAPIMacro), [CategoryHints](CategoryHints)
