Hello webkit-dev,

I would like to request Webkit's official position on adding events for
button and axis inputs to the Gamepad API.

This feature would add events that fire when gamepad button or axis inputs
change, enabling applications to respond to input changes as they occur
instead of relying on the current polling-only interface. The goal is to
enable applications to respond to gamepad inputs with minimum latency.
