For a lot of users, losing the joystick when the application is minimized, alt-tabbed or just obfuscated (another window completely shadowing it) is a no-go for Cockpit adoption. This was reported over and over to us by the support team and on the forum.

We should be able to archive it by accessing the joystick as a HID device in the main electron process. This makes sure we have access to the joystick state at any time, but introduces a lot of difficulties as well, since the state is completely different from one joystick to another.
