It currently doesn't. We should investigate if it is actually an elm-gamepad issue.

It appears to be related to how elm-gamepad treat mappings. If it is detected as "standard" like in Chromium for ps4 in my case, it works. If however it is empty string "" then it is not added to the list in detected gamepads.

I've added a patched elm-gamepad in this repo code for now in 4b626f7d0. I should discuss with xarvh to figure this out.

If the mapping provided by the browser is "", it means that we have no information whatsoever of what the axis and buttons arrays actually represent, and the only reliable way to ensure everyone can use a gamepad is to remap it.
