Research direction

Start by locating the new driver station UI and the existing code that displays button IDs when an input is clicked; compare it with the old driver station's axis display behavior. Done means the driver station shows the axis number for joysticks and triggers when selected, alongside the existing button ID information.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

On the new driver station, we can see the button ids when clicking on one but we cannot see the axis number for the joysticks and triggers. It would be very useful to have that information in the driver station like the old one had.
