Ok dokay, I'll take a look. Is it usually Sony controllers that seem to have the issues? Or am I reading into that too much?

No, it's not a rule - it's just something I noticed at the time with the gamepads I tested.

First thought, it'd need to be done at the configscript point from ES mapping, as that's the point when the controller will be connected. Unless the input configuration script is run without the controller plugged in. Which I think is unlikely from a user perspective.

You can search at runtime and - if found - store it. I'm not sure if there's a rule, but tend to no assume that the device is connected and look only at the values given.

I'd envision searching for keywords to match SDL against evdev name, the only trouble is if the user has multiple controllers connected it may get it wrong.

Arcade cabinets have always controller(s) connected.
