PID input and output value ranges

Does anyone know the input and output ranges for PID functions in commercial flight controller?

I've written my own flight controller. 
In it the PID input range is degrees as -180 to 180.
The output range is -65535 to 65535(which is -+max throttle)
I'm just looking to sanity check the PID terms I've been working with.

From watching Joshua Bardwell's PID Tuning Masterclass youtube series as well as reading a variety of articles on PID tuning I see the ratio of P to I to D is somewhat similar. 

The value themselves seem to be either be in the range of 1 to 2.5 or 20 to 90 but those don't mean much to me without knowing the expected input and output.

For anyone interested you can see my firmware here: https://github.com/pauljlohman/Pegasus
