Joyride 🎮 ➡️ ⌨️

Description

A simple Chrome extension that maps button presses from the Gamepad API to KeyboardEvents.

At the moment, because this is just solving a personal issue, it maps the left/right buttons on a Nintendo Swih Joy-Con to the left/right arrow keys. That means I can use the Joy-Con as a bluetooth clicker to control a presentation. I think that's pretty neat.

TODO: Add configuration for generic mapping of button presses to arbitrary keys.
