Subject: [PATCH v12 07/17] HID: asus: add joysticks anti-deadzone configuration
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 17:41:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261031174130.208240-8-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261031174130.208240-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
ROG Ally devices allow configuring the anti-deadzone parameter for
the resistive joysticks devices as over time those develops drift,
therefore allow userspace to configure the anti-deadzone by exposing
relevant sysfs attributes.
