I use directinput to get all the axis, buttons of a joystick, but i don't know how to retrieve the vendor or joystick model name. Anyone tried it ? Thanks

Call IDirectInputDevice8::GetDeviceInfo()
Part of the LPDIDEVICEINSTANCE structure it returns is the product and instance names of the joystick - is that what you want?

I'm still using the good old directx7, and GetDeviceInfo()
is not supported. I suppose i will have to switch soon ...
