How to determine controller type

We only have one XBox controller so we have to use another controller type for our practice bot. We want to keep a single code base that will work on both. Is there a good way to query a Joystick to determine what type of controller it is?

Use your smart dashboard, and have an input (check box?) for which controller.

Can you use the Get___Count() methods on the Joystick to distinguish between the two at runtime?

The x-box controller is part of the Driver's Station as does not have to be bagged.

We use the same DS and Controller for both practice and production bot.
