Navigator.getGamepads()

The Navigator.getGamepads() method returns an array of Gamepad objects, one for each gamepad connected to the device.

Elements in the array may be null if a gamepad disconnects during a session, so that the remaining gamepads retain the same index.

Syntax

 var gamepads = navigator.getGamepads();

Example

window.addEventListener("gamepadconnected", function(e) {
  var gp = navigator.getGamepads()[e.gamepad.index];
  console.log(
    "Gamepad connected at index %d: %s. %d buttons, %d axes.",
    gp.index, gp.id, gp.buttons.length, gp.axes.length
  );
});
