Navigator.getGamepads()

The Navigator.getGamepads() method returns an array: the first value is null, and the others are all Gamepad objects, one for each gamepad connected to the device. So if no gamepads are connected, the method will just return null.

Syntax

 var arrayGP = navigator.getGamepads();

Example

window.addEventListener("gamepadconnected", function(e) {
  var gp = navigator.getGamepads()[e.gamepad.index];
  console.log("Gamepad connected at index %d: %s. %d buttons, %d axes.",
  gp.index, gp.id,
  gp.buttons.length, gp.axes.length);
});
