# GCExtendedGamepad

A controller profile that supports the extended set of gamepad controls.

## Declaration

```swift
class GCExtendedGamepad
```

## Mentioned in

Discovering game controllers

## Overview

Overview The extended gamepad controller profile represents a physical or virtual controller with the following input elements: Two shoulder buttons Two trigger buttons Four face buttons in a diamond pattern One directional pad Two thumbsticks with optional thumbstick buttons Optional Home and Options buttons A Menu button

If a GCController object supports this type of profile, get the input values of the elements from the controller’s extendedGamepad property or use the profile’s valueChangedHandler method to receive a callback when the input values change. Alternatively, use the saveSnapshot() method to capture the input values at a moment in time. If the controller’s extendedGamepad property is nil, the controller doesn’t support this type of profile. See GCController for other profiles you can use.
