{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|axisCount%}} = [[_LASTAXIS]]({{Parameter|deviceNumber}})
{{PageDescription}}
* Returns the number of axis that can be read on a specified device number within the number of [[_DEVICES]] found.
* A valid number can be sent to the [[_AXIS]] function to find any relative axis movements.
* The devices are listed in a numerical order determined by the OS and can be read by the [[DEVICE$]] function.
* '''The [[_DEVICES]] function must be read before using _LASTAXIS or an [[ERROR Codes|"Illegal Function Call" error]] will occur.'''
* Devices include keyboard(1), mouse(2), joysticks, game pads and multiple stick game controllers.
