# gamepad

The gamepad profile.

## Declaration

```swift
var gamepad: GCGamepad? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the controller supports the gamepad profile, this property is a GCGamepad object that you use to access the input elements of the controller. If the controller doesn’t support the gamepad profile, this property is nil.
