Javascript to access usb HID (usb game controller)

Question

Im looking to use Javascript to read events from a usb device other than a keyboard or mouse. Specifically, I want to use a usb gaming controller to read events. If this isnt possible with Javascript, is there anything else thats on the browser and client side that would allow me to do this? Im not above having the user accept permission for something, install a plugin, or limit them to a particular browser.

Thanks in advance

You can use the Gamepad API that exists for this very reason.
