I see in this that it says LSB and RSB, I thought it was just LS and RS

LS (Left Stick) / RS (Right Stick) refer to the joystick's analog movement along the X (left-right) and Y (up-down) axes. These provide continuous input values rather than just on/off states.

LSB (Left Stick Button) / RSB (Right Stick Button) refer to pressing down on the stick like a button, which is a binary (on/off) input.

TL;DR:

LS/RS = Analog stick movement (X/Y axes).
LSB/RSB = Stick "click" (on/off).

@DJStompZone I see, it's just that the rest of the names align with the standard and these are off. Since the click function is LS/RS. For the position I don't know if there's any official terms. LX/LY/RX/RY is what I could imagine. But I figure that isn't the scope of this.
