Description

We need UI for:

  1. List of SDL ControllerDevices that are plugged in
  2. Per-device config settings for:
    a. remapping physical buttons/axes to different slots
    b. inverting axis directions
    c. dead-zone where Axis values below some threshold are considered to be zero
    d. maybe?: per-axis offset to compensate for measurement drift/error in device

We'll also need to be able to Save/Load per-device configs to settings, so that whenever someone plugs in a previously tuned device SL will automatically load whatever config alerations were made.

Research direction

Read the linked task issues #1508 through #1516 first, then trace how SDL ControllerDevices and per-device settings are currently handled. Break the requested UI into device listing, remapping, axis tuning, and save/load behavior; done means each applicable task is implemented and previously tuned devices reload their configurations.
