# Release notes for version 3.5 {#news}

[TOC]


## New features {#features}

### Unlimited mouse buttons {#unlimited_mouse_buttons}

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to
be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated
[mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with
values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the
@ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of
this.

### Callback functions for gamepad state, joystick buttons, joystick axes, and joystick hat inputs {#joystick_input_callbacks}

GLFW now has callback functions for [gamepad state](@ref glfwSetGamepadStateCallback), [joystick buttons](@ref glfwSetJoystickButtonCallback), [joystick axes](@ref glfwSetJoystickAxisCallback), and [joystick hats](@ref glfwSetJoystickHatCallback), allowing for 
event-based inputs for joysticks and gamepads.
