Re: [Gamepad] spec status

I'd like to note that the current semantic (in google chrome) of "press
button to connect device" is not very user friendly. Not all buttons
register as buttons (some register as axes) and won't do anything. Some
devices are also devoid of buttons (like the oculus rift) to press.
