Gamepad type/brand #11

Is there a way to know which type/brand of gamepad is connected? (Logitech, X-box ...) I want to change the button layout in the GUI based on gamepad type

Hi @buestad, Unfortunately there isn't any straightforward way to do this. Although there is an XInput function that allows you to get vendor information provided by Microsoft, it's undocumented and therefore might not be future proof or safe to use.
