I share Simon's concern that that providing low level access to every possible controller creates fragmentation, with purportedly "HTML" content that only works on a few devices. There is no clear cut border here - it's been mentioned that even touch events can be seen as rare - and then I advocate that adding more mouse specific events is a bad idea for the same reason.
As we add joystick/gamepad support, should steering wheels be next on the agenda? 3d mice? - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov 06.10.2011, в 10:01, Darin Fisher написал(а): > This proposal has matured somewhat, so an update is in order. > > FYI: > http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/default/gamepad.html > http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/charter/2011/Overview.html > > We are working behind the ENABLE(GAMEPAD) flag at the moment.
