DirectInput & XInput

The library will do its best at offering a unified interface for both DirectInput and XInput gamepads. Since JInput is currently only able to use WinTab and DirectInput under Windows, offering full support for XInput devices is not possible (yet).

These are the limitations for XInput gamepads:

• The left and right trigger buttons will act as a single button, not independently
• The vibration effects will not be available

In order to get the current trigger value you have to cast the gamepad to an XInputGamepad and call the getTriggerValue.
