Gecko currently only supports hapticactuators API in VR controllers. We should make general controller be supported as well.

It looks like Chromium implemented a different version of API [1][2]. IMO, we should follow the gamepad extension spec [3] to make haptics feedback support.

Hi :marcosc, do you have any information or contact window to reach Chrome team that they seem to implement an API that doesn't match to the spec?

I do indeed :) Can you email me with the details and I'll be happy to put you in touch with them. If we have any web platform tests or link to particular parts of the spec that don't match, that's really helpful too!
