SDL_GetGamepadAxis - Man Page

Defined in SDL3/SDL_gamepad.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

Sint16 SDL_GetGamepadAxis(SDL_Gamepad *gamepad, SDL_GamepadAxis axis);

The axis indices start at index 0.

For thumbsticks, the state is a value ranging from -32768 (up/left) to 32767 (down/right).

Triggers range from 0 when released to 32767 when fully pressed, and never return a negative value. Note that this differs from the value reported by the lower-level SDL_GetJoystickAxis (), which normally uses the full range.
