Support Logitech wired gamepad #145

Open billmania opened 1 week ago

billmania commented 1 week ago

See Issue #120

Using Chromium on ubuntu 22 with the Microsoft gamepad, the configuration process works correctly, completely, and robustly.

ubuntu 22 and Firefox, the configuration process for the buttons and axes of a gamepad has a problem with detecting and identifying axes with a Micro$oft gamepad. After moving any axis controller, it will not identify any other buttons or axes until the browser tab is closed and reopened. No complaints are written to the console.

The minimum required gamepad support is:

  1. MS-Windows 11, 64 bit
  2. Logitech F310 USB-wired gamepad
  3. Google Chrome 126.0.647.127, 64 bit

Axes

In Firefox, the two triggers are reported as axes 4 and 5. When released, their value is -1.0 and when fully depressed, their value is 1.0.

In Chrome, they're reported, in compliance with the standard mapping, as buttons 6 and 7. When released, their value is 0.0 and when fully depressed 1.0.

The Windows utility joy.cpl confirms both gamepads behave the same from the OS perspective.
