7.7. Joystick mapping
Each axis of the PoKeys virtual joystick can be assigned an analog input source. In addition, analog to
digital mapping option can be enabled, which allows user to connect an analog joystick to a PoKeys
devices and simulate key presses for each direction of the joystick. User can freely select dead band
and saturation ranges.
Besides mapping the analog inputs to virtual joystick axes, digital inputs (or encoder switching
events) can be mapped to any of the 32 virtual joystick buttons (either directly or ‘triggered’) or 4-
way POV hat selector. The triggered mapping to joystick buttons enables used to select different pins
that triggers selected joystick button on off-to-on transition (Down Event) and on on-to-off transition
(Up Event).
