Hi everybody,
I’m looking for the best practise to connect and poll common USB joysticks (their axis values in particular, no gamepads) with Xamarin.Mac for a Mac OS desktop app.
I have done quite a lot of research for about 1 week but have not found a robust and well running solution yet, unfortunately. What I have tried so far, with Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick connected (well detected by Controllers Lite tool).
UrhoSharp3D: Getting axis data works well but focus has always to be on an UrhoSharp3D application window otherwise joystick cannot be polled. But I do not want to have an extra window besides my Xamarin.Mac app.
MonoGame: No connected joystick found
MonoTK / OpenTK: There seems to be no compatible SDL2.dll
Sharpex2D: Sharpex2D.Game.Input is always null
Xamarin.Apple.iOSTVMac: Apple API GameController.GCController does not detect the joystick
Has anybody a good approach how to get the joystick working with a Xamarin.Mac app, or is there any different useful package/component available e.g. at Nuget?
Kind regards,
Andreas
