Is there a way to get a unique Joystick id?

    Hello all,

    I got 2 joysticks with different mappings on both. Right now, the mapping swap whenever I restart my computer or generally plugging the joysticks in. Is there a way to identify the joysticks being connected so that I can bind a set of controls to them?

    That's exactly what I have now. The issue is that the controls would swap between joystick inputs whenever I power on my computer. Is there a way to make it so that the left physical joystick is always Joystick 1 and the right physical joystick is Joystick 2?

    From reading this reply apparently "There are open-source C# XInput libraries out there you could use." . . . . ?
