### Generic Profiles

The strings returned in the `profiles` array of an `XRInputSource` describe the device being used with varying levels of detail, ranging from exactly identifying the device to only giving a broad description of it's shape and capabilities. It's highly recommended that, when applicable, the last profile in the array be from a list of well-known "generic" profiles, given below.

- **"button-controller":** A controller with at least one button/trigger but no touchpad or thumbstick. Controllers with this profile must use the `xr-standard` Gamepad mapping.
- **"touchpad-controller"** A controller with a touchpad, but no thumbstick. If the controller also has at least one additional button or trigger it must use the `xr-standard` Gamepad mapping.
- **"thumbstick-controller"** A controller with a thumbstick, but no touchpad. If the controller also has at least one additional button or trigger it must use the `xr-standard` Gamepad mapping.
- **"touchpad-thumbstick-controller"** A controller with both a touchpad and a thumbstick. If the controller also has at least one additional button or trigger it must use the `xr-standard` Gamepad mapping.

More generic profiles may be added to this list over time as new common form factors are observed.
