GamepadManagerSingleton

You can directly use an instance of this class. GamepadManager

A gamepadmanager to help with games / handling input from a controller

TODO:

Currently bluetooth gamepads when disconnecting (PS4 only) do no fire a disconnected event. Manually calling `this.gamepad.vibrationActuator.reset()` can force it to call a disconnect event, but this is a messy way of checking each tick to see if the gamepad is still connected. It also will cancel ongoing vibrations. Find a fix. (This is a GamepadAPI issue/OS issue/not code wise issue)
