Inspired by a Wired article <https://www.wired.com/story/xbox-one-x-and-xbox-one-deals/> mentioning XBox One gamepads for $34, I finally got a game controller.
Naturally, now I'm wondering how to read it from Go :-) It connects to Mac OS over Bluetooth. Various games seem to vary in whether they recognize or even notice it, but it works flawlessly in Chrome using http://html5gamepad.com/ So, if there's anyone here who even begins to know how gamepads work… am I about to wade into an ocean of pain? I'd *like* to avoid linking to sdl as gobot seems to do for joysticks: it would be lovely to have something in pure Go. Is that unlikely? How are games (and Chrome) even finding the controller? Do they have to interrogate the Bluetooth stack, and then speak both Bluetooth and the XBox controller protocol? Any help appreciated.
