support for 16bit values in the gamepad module

[ghost]

My jstest command on Linux shows 16bits values for signed 8bit values sent from the gamepad.py module; would it be possible to send 16bit values? I need a better resolution for my project...

We'd like to generalize this so you can specify gamepads with wider ranges, more buttons, etc. This requires run-time generation of USB HID descriptors, which is a long-term goal of ours. See also:

Being new to the wonderful world of HID devices, I just found that "Virtual Reality controls" are listed in the "USB HID Usage Tables", which corresponds more to what I'd like to create : https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf , so a better question would be: how to create a (USB and BLE) HID VR device?

Closing as gamepad is no longer part of this library. Instead you can create your own custom HID devices, as of CircuitPython 7.0.0. See https://learn.adafruit.com/custom-hid-devices-in-circuitpython
