On Linux, you can use uinput to create a virtual joystick device and feed network data to it.
// vjoy_receiver.c - receives UDP packets, updates virtual joystick #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <linux/uinput.h> #include <fcntl.h>#define UDP_PORT 37037
int main() // Create uinput device (virtual joystick) int uinput_fd = open("/dev/uinput", O_WRONLYusb network joystick driver 370aexe 37l hot
Compile with:
gcc -o vjoy_receiver vjoy_receiver.c
Run as root. On Linux, you can use uinput to create
If 370aexe and 37l hot are typos, please check the actual VID/PID from Device Manager → Details → Hardware Ids. Then replace the values accordingly. Would you like help decoding the correct identifiers?
The keyword “usb network joystick driver 370aexe 37l hot” is almost certainly a garbled or malicious reference. No legitimate driver carries that name. Your real solution is one of three: Compile with: gcc -o vjoy_receiver vjoy_receiver
For further help, search by your joystick’s USB hardware ID (VID/PID) or post on forums like Reddit’s r/hotas or the VirtualHere community. Avoid any website offering “37l hot” as a download—it’s a trap, not a driver.
Stay safe, and enjoy your joystick—networked or otherwise—with clean, verifiable software.
If you actually need a network joystick (e.g., fly from your laptop but joystick is on a desktop in another room), here’s how to do it properly using VirtualHere (supports any USB device):
