html5 mobile gamepad support

[RazorSharpFang]

Hello, I was wondering how gamepad support is in mobile html5 clients.

 

So far, getting gamepads to work in desktop html5 environments has been a nightmare, especially with third party controllers (logitech...) and was wondering how the scene was in the mobile side of html5.

 

Of course, IE has no support whatsoever. (typical...) *eyeroll*

 

I only have an android 2.3 device to test with, so anything I find out about my own device may as well be obsolete already, as android 4.x+ is already out. Additionally, I have no iDevices to test with either, so any information you guys could provide would be much welcome.

 

A common complaint about mobile games, (and mobile html5 games, I hear) is their oversimplistic design and interface, and a severe lack of depth available to the player. I've tried running games with simultaneous inputs (think running/shooting) but my device's multitouch is a joke, detecting one and not the other.

 

I'd love to deliver some of the more classic genres of games to the mobile html5 platform, but will need gamepad/controller support to be able to do this.

Is it possible at this time? If so, is it feasible? My device cannot run FF mobile nor Chrome mobile, so I haven't had to opportunity to test multi-touch in those browsers.
