+Each is a axis. For example: JOY_LX_1 is the left/right of the left analog stick on controller 1, while JOY_LY_1 is the up/down axis of the same stick on controller 1.

+JOY_RX_1 and JOY_RY_1 will be the left/right, up/down of the right stick on controller 1.
+Each controller will implement its layout differently. But Orx makes use of the [[https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB|SDL_GameControllerDB community database]] internally to make the mapping consistent for all controllers playing your game
+To allow the user to customise mapping, it is helpful to consider providing [[en:tutorials:input:remapping_inputs|remapping in your game]].
+===== Triggers =====
+Triggers are technically an axis as well. They are read as a range of values rather than on/off like a button. These are available on newer console controllers like the Xbox 360 or PS4:
+  * JOY_LTRIGGER_*
+  * JOY_RTRIGGER_*
