Report gamepad controller events
Tracks and outputs the button, joystick, trigger, and sensor events from all connected gamepad controllers. Send a device control messages for haptic feedback rumble events and device led color with the senddevice message. The gamepad object is a lightweight wrapper for the Simple DirectMedia Layer 2.0 Library's gamepad implementation.

Send a device control messages for haptic feedback rumble events and device led color
The word senddevice followed by a number indicating the logical device ID will send the following message on to that device. If the device index is negative, the following message is sent to all devices. Possible messages are led, rumble, and rumbletriggers.
The led message is followed by red, green and blue values in the range 0-1.
The rumble message is followed by low high and duration values, where low represents the low frequency rumble amount in the range 0-1, high represents the high frequency rumble amount in the range 0-1, and duration is in milliseconds.
The rumbletriggers message is followed by left right and duration values, where left represents the left trigger rumble amount in the range 0-1, right represents toe right trigger rumble amount in the range 0-1, and duration is in milliseconds.
Send a device control messages for haptic feedback rumble events and device led color
The sendinstance message has the same functionality of the senddevice message, but referenced using the unique gamepad instance id rather than the logical device ID.
Global polling interval (ms)
The global polling interval sets the rate at which the incoming gamepad controller event queue is being serviced. The default is 5 milliseconds. Changing this attribute will change it for all gamepad controller objects in all patches.
As gamepad controllers generate events they are output in the form event_type value. Possible events are:
