Yeah now that you mention it, that's probably the underlying reason of
the USB gamepad mess:
the USB spec wasn't written with the current gamepads with 2 or 3
thumbsticks in mind.
The hardware makers are forces to report the axes in nonstandard ways,
and
of course they all do this in *different* nonstandard ways...
Maybe we should just give up and make a note in the docs note that game
developers should make the joystick inputs configurable. A game controller
database would be very nice, however it 'll take ages before it's usable.
Kind Regards,
