The keypressed event isn't being called for gamepads... I was wondering if there was a special events for this. Anyone know?

joypad buttons/pads fall under their associated keydown, so you can check that in a timeout. I always found keypressed unreliable, because it faulters on both holding a button down and pressing it fast rapidly...

Use keydown/keyup. Like Kristi said I found keypressed is very unreliable. As for knowing the code for the gamepad, I'm not quite to sure. :.

Yeah, that's what I have been doing. I was just wondering if there was a keypressed like event too.
