Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.89 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Connect a PS4 Dualshock 4 v2 Controller to your computer 2. Look at the gamepad ID What is the expected behavior? The gamepad ID shows a generic sounding name for a popular controller. It should mention Sony, Dualshock or Playstation. What went wrong? "Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 054c Product: 09cc)" This isn't so helpful? Whereas other controllers like the latest Xbox One controller shows more useful information: "Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)" Even though it says "360" and not "One". Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 62.0.3202.89 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: It'd make it much easier to know what kind of controller the users are using so I can give them the correct UI graphics to show in game. I'd love to know if they're using a Ps4 controller.

You can use the vendor and product IDs to identify the controller. All Sony gamepads have vendor ID 054c. Dualshock4s may have product ID 05c4 (CUH-ZCT1), 09cc (CUH-ZCT2), or 0ba0 (when using the USB wireless adaptor). You may also want to check for Dualshock3/SIXAXIS gamepads which have product ID 0268. "Wireless Controller" is the device name as reported by the device; it's not something Chrome should modify. (I agree, it's terribly unhelpful) > Whereas other controllers like the latest Xbox One controller shows more useful information: On Windows, every XInput gamepad appears in Chrome as "Xbox 360 Controller" because XInput doesn't expose information like vendor/product ID that could be used to identify the device. For UI elements, I'd recommend using Xbox icons if the device is connected over XInput (on Windows) or has Microsoft's vendor ID 045e. Use Dualshock icons for devices with Sony's vendor ID 054c.

Thanks Matt, do you know if there's a site or database of controllers I can see what each controller's product and vendor ID is? So I don't have to buy them all.

This is a regularly updated list of vendor/product pairs for known USB devices: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids SDL maintains a list of default mappings for known gamepads. e.g., here's Dualshock4: "030000004c050000c405000011010000,PS4 Controller,a:b1,b:b2,back:b8,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b12,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b10,lefttrigger:a3,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b11,righttrigger:a4,rightx:a2,righty:a5,start:b9,x:b0,y:b3,", The first item is a hex string that combines the vendor ID, product ID, version, and some other info to create a unique identifier for this model of gamepad, which you can reverse to get the vendor/product IDs. Here's the full list: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/tip/src/joystick/SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h The 360Controller third-party Xbox controller driver for Mac supports a lot of devices that are Xbox-compatible but aren't Microsoft products. It lists the supported devices along with their vendor/product IDs here: https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/blob/fb703ccd51b528c6f1d830015e7ecdfa01e7ee3e/360Controller/Info.plist
