Hi Arno, Indeed if you pull the latest from qt/qtgamepad from gerrit (dev) it should work with 6.10 (dev). Also I guess technically it still would be possible to have it officially in 6.10+, but the module freeze is on Friday of this week if the wiki is up to date. I’m also not entirely sure what the process is for adding a new module to Qt (or in this case re-adding).
If someone could chime in the practicalities of doing this (or a rebuttal/refusal) I could help get this ball rolling again.

I guess we're equally confused :-) I was under the impression that the "new", revived QtGamepad was still in development and not yet functional.

If it works, yes! I'm all for it!
