Description-en: joystick testing and configuration tool
jstest-gtk is a simple graphical joystick tester. It provides a list
of attached joysticks, and for each one can display which buttons and
axes are pressed, remap axes and buttons, and calibrate the device.
.
Even when your joystick is working mostly fine, you might want to
give it a try, as the calibration lets you get rid of overlarge
default deadzones that many joysticks use and which are a noticeable
problem in some games.
.
Installing the joystick package in addition to this one will allow
you to store your calibration settings and mappings and have the
automatically restored.
