swaystick

swaystick reads input from a DualSense controller and binds its buttons to actions in the Sway window manager.

Could possibly work with previous DualShock models and perhaps even other gamepads. I've only tested it with a regular DualSense pad.

Uses the limited Linux joystick API. Based on Jason White's joystick demo.

usage

Compile with cc -o swaystick swaystick.c, and start it up with ./swaystick. With one joystick/controller plugged in it should work fine but if it doesn't or if the wrong keys are being picked up, specify a custom joystick device with ./swaystick /dev/input/jsX.

binds
