dualsense was the original target pad! part of what i allude to in "stuff you did before february" was exploring how the haptics and adaptive triggers work and looking into code examples of people interfacing with them in SDL. (The haptics are really just the two rear channels of the pad's speaker, or at least that's how they're exposed.) the first input surface i got responding to movement in the doomed SDL project was the touchpad. but well, of course, all that didn't work out.
