This offers more flexibility than seems useful, allowing e.g. an array of length 100 to always be returned. Always returning an array of the minimum length possible seems better. 117764 1 ted 2015-02-09 12:03:42 +0000 I'm not really sure why this is spec'ed this way, I think Scott wrote that text. I know Chrome (and possibly IE) always return an Array of length 4 even when no gamepads are connected. Firefox always returns an array of the minimum possible length. 117792 2 philipj 2015-02-10 08:52:23 +0000 Yes, Chrome does that, but it makes no sense to me :) 117793 3 philipj 2015-02-10 08:53:31 +0000 I guess it made more sense when the object returned (GamepadList) is the same every time, less so when you return a new array every time. 119884 4 ted 2015-04-24 11:03:25 +0000 Moved to https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/13
