Have USB controllers added to extensions
that is a good way to start but what if you don't own an Xbox controller? only one type of controller can connect to a windows computer:
XBOX CONTROLLER
so i suggest scratch only make a plugin for that.

All of those controllers can be connected via USB-C or Bluetooth.

100% support it would be very cool Scratch has a lot of extensions for things like lego, makey makey, generally some strange input types that aren't usable for a lot of projects.
adding support for controllers would help lots of projects, especially ones that work well with analog input, like driving games,

including joycons and other controllers that are just meant for PC, and controllers that connect with other cables like microUSB will work
they work on everything, including chrome and mac

This seems like a good idea, for compatible controllers. However, I think the triggers and main buttons should have customizable referencing, or be given directional names.
An example of the former would be me seeing them with the Nintendo referencing, while you see them with that of PlayStation, like below.
Alternatively, we could have…

(#2116)This is an awesome idea! How do you see this functionally being implemented in the UI? The only way I can think of, is when you connect the controller, in the connection window (Like on the BOOST extension), there is a drop down with all the different layouts to choose from.

(#2117)Browsers can automatically detect the model of gamepad. I think that it should just automatically switch to the labels on the first gamepad.(#2116)This is an awesome idea!

Yes, but there are so many manufacturers it would be hard to do all of them.(#2117)Browsers can automatically detect the model of gamepad.

Edit: It might be possible to have detection for the most popular official branded controllers… Either way, if we even go this route, there needs to be a manual selection option. Development wise, this would be one of the last final touches at the end.

Hi there! I am not sure if your statement about more Scratchers having USB controllers is accurate, but I believe it would be an excellent idea for those who do possess USB controllers. I have one question, and I apologize if it sounds silly: are USB controllers compatible with Scratch? (Really?)

(#2121)Thanks for the support! As for your question: Well, not yet! We're trying to change that with this suggestion. We will use the same mechanics as this website.
