Subject: [PATCH v13 05/18] HID: asus: add joysticks inner and outer range configuration
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 01:39:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104013935.512713-6-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104013935.512713-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
ROG Ally devices supports configuring joysticks inner and outer range:
add sysfs attributes to allow userspace modifying the sensitivity
of those controllers.
