• [rawjoystick] uses the Linux input event system, rather than the older

joystick interface, but that shouldn't make a visible difference.

If you have configured the input layer in the kernel, /dev/js* is linked to /dev/input/js*, so [joystick] already uses the input layer.

• [rawjoystick] has a fixed number of outlets, [joystick]'s outlets are

dynamically generated.

That is curious, I think a inputlayer aware joystick driver announces its axis to the input layer. Although I think a HID joystick does it incorrectly, at least I always had the maximum number (18) axis

• [rawjoystick] supports a hat switch. (My joystick only has one, so

that's what I based it on....)

At least for my joystick, this is allready the case. The hat switches are mapped to 2 additional axis'

But the polling should be an improvement.
