[PATCH v2 6/6] hid: sony: Correct a typo in a HID descriptor comment and explain the odd Sixaxis axis mapping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Correct a spelling mistake in the Sixaxis HID descriptor comment.

Add an explanation as to why the Sixaxis has so many analog axes and why
some of them are seen as multi-touch axes.
