    Hi all, i have been puzzling with the WebGL just now (for some reason i cannot get the Windows WebGL build to work but my Mac 10.10 build works fine with a lot of errors :p) but my question is:

    Is it possible to use controller(s) with WebGL and if so, what are the standard buttons??? i cannot make the buttons for joystick button 0 / 1 / 6 or 7 to work (those are the one's i'm currently using) but however my left analogue stick works just fine :/ I do hope that WebGL at least if not already will soon support controller support :D It would be awesome ;)

    Thanks for reading through :)

    Joystick/Gamepad controllers should work in WebGL for any browser which supports the HTML5 gamepad API (at least Chrome and Firefox). You can try the gamepad API here:

    http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/doodles/gamepad/gamepad-tester/tester.html

    If your joystick buttons do not work in that web page, then it is probably a bug in the browser. If they work there, but not in Unity, then it is probably a bug for us.

    Hi there Jonas,
    I have now tested the controller on the website and the controller works (apart from the directional buttons!) but i still cannot make the buttons work when building the game (the corresponding keyboard keys do work however!)
    Cheers,
    David.

    Then you should probably file a bug for us to have a look.
