Window: gamepadconnected event - Web APIs | MDN
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
js
addEventListener("gamepadconnected", (event) => { })
ongamepadconnected = (event) => { }
Examples
To be informed when a gamepad is connected, you can add a handler to the window using addEventListener(), like this:
js
window.addEventListener("gamepadconnected", (event) => {
// All buttons and axes values can be accessed through
const gamepad = event.gamepad;
});
Alternatively, you can use the window.ongamepadconnected event handler property to establish a handler for the gamepadconnected event:
js
window.ongamepadconnected = (event) => {
// All buttons and axes values can be accessed through
const gamepad = event.gamepad;
};
