An {{XRInputSource}}'s associated {{Gamepad}} MAY be exposed via {{navigator.getGamepads()}}, even if there is no active XR session by user agent choice. This allows XR devices to be used as "regular" gamepads if the user agent wishes to allow this.

Note: Hand tracking {{XRInputSource}}s as described in [[WEBXR-HAND-INPUT-1]] may contain a {{Gamepad}} if the user agent wishes to allow hand-based input sources to be used with gamepad-based content.
