You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I use Gamepad1 all the time, am I doing something wrong?
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Why do we have multiple gamepads in Roblox scripting? Is there a specific reason?
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried understanding why there’s multiple gamepads, but I just don’t get it. Someone please explain.

you can connect multiple gamepads into your console/pc so if you want to detect input on for example the second gamepad thats detected by the device use Gamepad2

Is it ok if I just use the first one though?

yes, you should be using Gamepad1 since most players only have 1 connected gamepad and if you were to use Gamepad2 it wouldnt detect inputs

Thank you! I just needed some clarification. I was confused why there were so many gamepads to choose from.
