Supported controllers

Controller support varies from OS to OS, so be sure to check out the specific Wiki page for your operating system. Below is a list of supported controllers.

• Dualshock 4
• Dualshock 3
• Sixaxis
• Xbox 360
• Gamecube
• Nvidia Shield Controller

Troubleshooting

If after connecting the gamepad to your OS you're still having problems try these:

• Check that the controller battery isn't too low.
• Press some buttons. On some devices, only certain buttons will wake up the gamepad API (the face buttons on PS3 controllers, for instance)
• Close other apps that may be using the gamepad
• Restart your web browser

If the HTML5 Gamepad Tester site is seeing the controller, then DaisywheelJS should work. Make an issue if you run into any undocumented problems.
