Questions tagged [xinput]

XInput is an API that allows applications to receive input from the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Controller rumble effects and voice input and output are supported.

XInput, an API for "next generation" controllers, was introduced in December 2005 alongside the launch of the Xbox 360. This instruction set provided full support for Xbox 360 controllers in Windows XP SP1 and subsequent operating systems, and is described by Microsoft as being easier to program for and requiring less setup than DirectInput. XInput is compatible with DirectX version 9 and later.

In my simple mind, it seems useful to ship a nice image of your joystick with an index of the button and axis locations on the image. Can such a thing be queried through the XInput or DirectInput APIs? Would it be driver-specific, and if so which…
