Comment (by digitall):

 I think reading this code that it is implementing a fixed "deadband" for
 the joystick axis to prevent small zero offsets on the hardware causing
 drifts.

 This would be applied at
 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/backends/events/sdl/sdl-
 events.cpp#L823

 However, I think that this is very hardware dependent and if this is
 implemented, it will be necessary to allow the deadband to be configured
 between 0 i.e. disabled and up to say around 4000. It is also usual to
 offset the deadband to avoid the startup jerk i.e. sudden 0 to 4000
 transition with current code.

 P.S. Had to do this kind of code for my "day job" a fair bit..
