    • gamepads

      public static GamepadManager gamepads()
      Gets the manager for all gamepad input devices.

      The manager provides easy access to the default controller as well as access by gamepad index for mulitplayer games. Gamepads don't need to be added explicitly, the manager supports hot-plugging at runtime and will auto-detect any added/removed gamepads.

      This returns null if Game.config().input().isGamepadSupport() is set to false.

      Returns:
      The gamepad manager.
