Have USB controllers added to extensions

would dual joycons work? cause to play normal games with them you need a program so the computer uses them as one controller

I don't think this will be possible, and if it is it will definitely only be for the Pro Controller. Each Joycon counts as a separate Xinput controller, so the ST would need to develop special support only for Joycons to make it possible.

Adding to that, joycons as plain bluetooth controllers are not rejected, only motion is.
Where is adding motion controls to scratch rejected? It's not included in this suggestion, but that doesn't mean it's rejected. Can you give a citation?
I feel like an easy-ish way of adding motion is with assigning a keypress to when the controller is shaken.

yea that could be a issue as not all controllers have motion (xbox)

It would be possible to have a way to assign buttons (and in this case, controller shake) a keypress using variables, potentially.

Mozboz

define <controller button pressed (input)?>
if <(input) = (button pressed)> then
return <true>
else
return <false>

Support!
This would be helpful for two player games, racing, fighting etc. and it’d be cool!

Support. This will be very good because many people prefer using controllers instead of keyboard for many games. I wish this is in Scratch.

Bran615

Support. It would be cool to play popular games like platformers on a controller.

Support! JavaScript can actually receive controller events with the Gamepad API, so this is not only possible but quite simple to add to Scratch.

Good point. If they implement via this, I support the suggestion due to the fact that I wouldn’t have to see everyone argue about this anymore, and it’s simple and cheap for Scratch to add.

Support, you'd be able to create harder games with frame perfect movement (since WASD can only go in directions of 45°)

there are programs that trick the computer into thinking the two joycons are a single controller so it could work
single joycons would be great for retro games

Bumping this, I support.

Also, since analog sticks aren't just d-pad buttons, you can tilt the analog stick just a little bit or all the way and the game could react differently!

Yes, exactly! This could be used for racing games so people can have accurate steering.

No support. There is a reason why, but I can't mention it.

such as you move faster the further the stick goes
