Hello,

I’d like to request the auto-connection of the joystick plug for my app Gamepadla+ (gamepadla-plus). The app is meant to measure the polling rate and other latency metrics of gamepads / joysticks / controllers.

name: gamepadla-plus
description: |
  Gamepadla+ is a program for measuring the polling rate and synthetic latency of gamepads aka. controllers.

  * Supports DInput and XInput
  * Provides CLI (Command Line Interface) and GUI (Graphical User Interface)
  * Shows polling rate and latency metrics

upstream: https://github.com/WyvernIXTL/gamepadla-plus
upstream-relation: author
plugs:
  joystick:
    request-type: auto-connection
    reasoning: needed for measuring polling rate and latency, which is the job of this tool

I am looking forward to your responses.

Best regards,
Adam

Thanks for the detailed request. Auto-connecting the joystick plug makes sense here since the app directly depends on joystick access to measure polling rate and latency.
