## Remarks

Alternatively, instead of using literal values for device, key, inverse, delta and joystick arguments, you can pass numerical values. Although, just using magic numbers to set values by hand in your code will only make it messier, and given that internal conversion is an optimized operation and you wouldn't call this function hundreds of times every frame, that would make no performance difference.
