Thanks for posting this, Ted!
What is the dom.gamepad.non_standard_events.enabled controlling, and why
do we have a different value of this pref in our release and non-release
builds?
Thanks!

As of Firefox 28 I intend to turn the Gamepad API on by default (on
desktop Firefox). It has been developed behind the dom.gamepad.enabled
preference, and shipped preffed-off in Firefox 24.
Google has shipped a prefixed but mostly-compatible implementation in
Chrome for multiple releases now. They're slightly less spec-compatible
than we are, and they're also not in line with a recent breaking spec
change that was made, but since they're still prefixed I don't think
that's a problem. The developer of the Google implementation is co-spec
editor along with me, so I don't forsee any issues with them fixing
their implementation.
I don't forsee any non-backwards-compatible changes being made to the
spec in the future, so I think this is a good time to ship and get more
exposure for the API.

new WD published, that should happen in the near future)
