Description Marcos Caceres 2024-05-09 16:58:50 PDT 
Gamepad identification relies on assumptions about browser-specific behaviors that are not defined as part of the spec. Gamepad API only exposes one device identifier for gamepads, the Gamepad.id string attribute. The content of this attribute is explicitly left unspecified. Each browser engine uses a different naming scheme.

Adding Add vendorId, productId, along with the name attribute would bring some consistency.
