Hi, I’m using GLFW for my app. The GLFW uses SDL Controller DB to map device input to abstract gamepad. However, GLFWgamepadstate doesn’t contain states for Dual Sense mute button and touchpad button. In the [db.txt from sdl](https://github.com/mdqinc/SDL_GameControllerDB/blob/9e4f34deb5569dfdd8c16c2320710aeb2a7e2f12/gamecontrollerdb.txt#L555) you can see that mapping for those keys is present as well. My question is how to conveniently query **misc button, touchpad button** states as well? I really don’t want to parse, that file myself. Thanks!

Hi @SenPie,

Welcome to the GLFW forum.

See the [input documentation on Gamepad mappings in GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/input_guide.html#gamepad_mapping) - the `misc1` and `touchpad` buttons are not currently supported.

Is there any workaround?

Thanks for that. This may take some time to merge.
