{{APIRef("Gamepad API")}}
The Gamepad.timestamp property of the
{{domxref("Gamepad")}} interface returns a {{domxref("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
{{domxref("PerformanceTiming")}} interface. Values are monotonically
increasing, meaning that they can be compared to determine the ordering of updates, as
newer values will always be greater than or equal to older values.
[!NOTE] This property is not currently supported anywhere.
A {{domxref("DOMHighResTimeStamp")}} object.
const gp = navigator.getGamepads()[0];
console.log(gp.timestamp);
