#799: Gamepad Extensions API touch input

Visit on Github.

Opened Dec 14, 2022

Wotcher TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Gamepad Extensions API touch input.

Many modern gamepads support touch functionality. This proposal addresses the missed inputs by adding the events to the gamepad.

  • Explainer: Gamepad Touch Extension
  • Specification URL: Pull request
  • Tests: None yet, web platform tests will be added with the prototype implementation
  • Security and Privacy self-review:

  • Organization(s)/project(s) driving the specification: Web Apps WG

Sangwhan: it's the best that can be done right now... a few weird things with gamepad - deterministic.. the group should re-visit.

We are late getting to this so apologies. We're largely happy with this proposal given the constraints proposed and in particular the integration into Gamepad API itself and the documented non-goals. I would like to suggest that you amend the explainer with some explicit (example) user needs - "the user wants to do xxx..." rather than starting right away with "Enable applications to consume inputs ...". However we're happy to close this.

Dan: leaves comment and closes
