typedef enum SDL_JoystickType

In some cases, SDL can identify a low-level joystick as being a certain type of device, and will report it through

SDL_GetJoystickType
(or

SDL_GetJoystickTypeForID ).

This is by no means a complete list of everything that can be plugged into a computer.

This enum is available since SDL 3.2.0.
