The Gamepad.timestamp property of the Gamepad interface returns a DOMHighResTimeStamp representing the last time the data for this gamepad was updated.
The idea behind this is to allow developers to determine if the axes and button data have been updated from the hardware. The value must be relative to the navigationStart attribute of the PerformanceTiming
Note: This property is not currently supported anywhere.
Syntax
readonly attribute DOMHighResTimeStamp timestamp;
