[trackedcontrols]: ./tracked-controls.md

The oculus-go-controls component interfaces with the Oculus Go controllers.
It wraps the [tracked-controls component][trackedcontrols] while adding button
mappings, events, and an Oculus Go controller model that highlights the touched
and/or pressed buttons (trackpad, trigger).

## Example

```html
<!-- Match Oculus Go controller if present, regardless of hand. -->
<a-entity oculus-go-controls></a-entity>

<!-- Match Oculus Go controller if present and for specified hand. -->
<a-entity oculus-go-controls="hand: left"></a-entity>
<a-entity oculus-go-controls="hand: right"></a-entity>
```

### Legacy WebVR Browsers

Legacy WebVR browsers use the older 'trackpadXXXX' event names, rather than the
[WebXR nomenclature](https://github.com/immersive-web/webxr-input-profiles/tree/master/packages/assets/profiles)
'touchpadXXXX'. If you want to support both event types, then you can listen for both flavors of event names.

```.js
el.addEventListener('touchpadchanged', yourHandler);
el.addEventListener('trackpadchanged', yourHandler);
```
