Interface IGamepadOutputBackend
A per-controller output backend that drives vibration and/or the LED on a specific gamepad family
(DualShock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro, ...) through whatever transport that family needs — Unity's HID
ExecuteCommand or a raw OS HID handle. The vibration and LED channels iterate the registered
backends in order and take the FIRST that claims the pad, falling back to Unity's built-in API when
none do.
This is the controller-extension seam: supporting a new controller means adding a backend and
registering it in the installer — no channel changes (open/closed). It is also where a future
transport swap lives (e.g. moving a PlayStation pad off Unity's ExecuteCommand onto raw HID):
add a backend that uses the other transport and the channels are unaffected.
Every method returns false for a pad this backend does not handle (wrong family,
unsupported connection, or unsupported platform) so the caller falls through to the next backend or
the default path.

Syntax
public interface IGamepadOutputBackendMethods
TrySetLed(Gamepad, Color)
Sets the controller LED on pad if this backend handles it. Monochrome LEDs
(e.g. the Switch Pro Home ring) derive intensity from the color's brightness. Returns true when handled.
Declaration
bool TrySetLed(Gamepad pad, Color color)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gamepad | pad | |
| Color | color |
Returns

TrySetVibration(Gamepad, float, float)
Sets the vibration motors on pad if this backend handles it. Returns true when handled.
Declaration
bool TrySetVibration(Gamepad pad, float low, float high)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gamepad | pad | |
| float | low | |
| float | high |
