            Bug ID: 206033
           Summary: Standard gamepad mapping for GameControllerGamepads
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: jameshoward at mac.com

The gamepad spec defines a standard mapping for certain gamepads[1]. As of iOS 13/macOS 10.15, extended gamepads via GameController.framework can be mapped in a straightforward manner to the standard mapping.

There are two benefits to moving these gamepads to the standard mapping, vs the ad-hoc empty string mapping they have now:

1. Buttons which are currently inaccessible in the current implementation will become accessible (thumbstick buttons, start and select buttons, and the home/guide button).
2. Web applications that recognize or require the standard mapping will start working.
