Since there was no Gamepad code in the WK2 directory, I assumed this was not the case. If EFL’s WK2 strategy is “have every web content process probe the same game pads independent of each other,” then hopefully the upcoming work to set up a proper process model will excite you! > However, I would like to say that EFL are now interested in your task too. :) Great! As far as getting device state from the native gamepad system, I’m sure it will be as easy to adapt to the new model as it was to write GamepadsEfL.cpp. The new API does include notifications for connecting and disconnecting gamepads so an EFL maintaining will have to come along and fill in those bits, but it should be pretty straightforward.
