It has not changed, it's just a new, additional way of supporting devices. The 
old plib driven keyboard/mouse/joystick input still persists. Both options 
live happily next to each other and you may use the new or the old one.

There is no (known) limit for the number of supported buttons or axes with 
this implementation other than those of your operating system. On linux, 
buttons, keys and axes are numbered by a 16bit unsigned integer which limits 
your number of each to 65536.
