This is also OK awolk@ with same caveat regarding SDL2 and for anyone testing I found a quirk. I have a zalman gaming mouse and for some reason this test app detected it as 3 gaming pads... preventing the PS4 dual shock pad from being discovered by this utility when plugged in. After unplugging the mouse, and plugging the pad in - it's detected correctly and the test & events mode works as expected. So, unplug your fancy USB devices before testing a gaming pad/joystick.
