Re: [w3c/gamepad] Mapping of HID Events to the Gamepad API (#56)

I think it would be useful to have this for HID devices, but yes, not all gamepads are HID devices. Microsoft's XInput API and Apple's Game Controller framework both provide non-HID APIs to devices.

For arbitrary HID devices though, it would be great for extensibility (so the spec doesn't have to cover every possible type of device input/sensor/output) as well as a way to ensure consistent behavior across implementations and operating systems--the same device descriptor should result in the same buttons/axes.
