Gamepad support will probably become mandatory for local play. Because of keyboard ghosting, it's not conceivable to have more than 2 people using one keyboard at a time.

“Ghosting” is the problem that some keyboard keys don’t work when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously.

I have never used gamepads in JS, but hey... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Gamepad_API/Using_the_Gamepad_API

For gamepad in elm: https://github.com/xarvh/elm-gamepad

It mostly works but there are still two issues:

Does not work in Firefox, only in Chrome (should not be the case, maybe an elm-gamepad issue)
4th controller is not detected in browser, no idea why.
