Some related issues: https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/65 https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/9 https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/7 In general the `id` field is terrible (sorry). We should expose the vendor + product IDs in separate fields if available, and the controller name in its own field. The product id that MDN talks about is in terms of [the USB device desciptor](https://beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb5.shtml#DeviceDescriptors), where AFAICT it is intended to be the product name. For the purposes of the Gamepad API we simply want "a human-readable string that describes the device so that users can distinguish multiple connected devices". -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
