SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_ENUMERATE_ONLY_CONTROLLERS3

A variable to control whether sdl_hid_enumerate () enumerates all hid devices or only controllers.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_ENUMERATE_ONLY_CONTROLLERS SDL_HIDAPI_ENUMERATE_ONLY_CONTROLLERS"

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": SDL_hid_enumerate () will enumerate all HID
devices.

• "1": SDL_hid_enumerate () will only enumerate
controllers. (default)

By default SDL will only enumerate controllers, to reduce risk of hanging or crashing on devices with bad drivers and avoiding macOS keyboard capture permission prompts.

This hint can be set anytime.
