Probably the most useful joystick delegate mode is

Follow Preview

. You will probably not be surprised to

learn that, when enabled (as is the default in new sessions) the joystick assignment tracks your Main >

PREV

) row selection.

Since the

Live Desktop

normally displays a large

Hint: To open the Input Configuration panel for the source currently selected on the Preview row to adjust its
settings, simply tap the * (asterisk) key in the keyboard numberpad.
