Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/6] Input: Assign EV_BTN event to HID Joysticks
Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2026 22:31:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260104213132.163904-5-tomasz.pakula.oficjalny@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260104213132.163904-1-tomasz.pakula.oficjalny@gmail.com>
Joysticks will now fire EV_BTN for every of their buttons, even buttons
that were previously ignored because they were cut off by KEY_MAX. This
in turns enables joysticks to finally report buttons above 80 which was
the previous limitation.
