As of Firefox 28 I intend to turn the Gamepad API on by default (on desktop Firefox). It has been developed behind the dom.gamepad.enabled preference, and shipped preffed-off in Firefox 24.
Google has shipped a prefixed but mostly-compatible implementation in Chrome for multiple releases now. They're slightly less spec-compatible than we are, and they're also not in line with a recent breaking spec change that was made, but since they're still prefixed I don't think that's a problem. The developer of the Google implementation is co-spec editor along with me, so I don't forsee any issues with them fixing their implementation. I don't forsee any non-backwards-compatible changes being made to the spec in the future, so I think this is a good time to ship and get more exposure for the API.
