(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_JoystickID

This is a unique ID for a joystick for the time it is connected to the system, and is never reused for the lifetime of the application.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_joystick.h>

Syntax

typedef Uint32 SDL_JoystickID;

Remarks

If the joystick is disconnected and reconnected, it will get a new ID.

The ID value starts at 1 and increments from there. The value 0 is an invalid ID.

Version

This datatype is available since SDL 3.0.0.
