+				Queries whether an input device should be ignored or not. Devices can be ignored by setting the environment variable [code]SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES[/code]. Read the [url=https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2]SDL documentation[/url] for more information.
+				[b]Note:[/b] Some 3rd party tools can contribute to the list of ignored devices. For example, [i]SteamInput[/i] creates virtual devices from physical devices for remapping purposes. To avoid handling the same input device twice, the original device is added to the ignore list.
