Simple Gamepad Navigation (Userscript)
Navigate (almost) any accessible website with a controller.
This userscript injects the Simple Gamepad Navigation engine into every page you visit (*://*/*
). Once installed in Tampermonkey (or another compatible userscript manager) you can move focus, scroll, activate links & buttons, open context menus, and perform basic keyboard actions using your controller.
[!IMPORTANT]
Only support Xbox style controllers for now.
