Determining if a Gamepad is Connected

[roryo]

I got started with the new input system a few weeks ago and am loving it!

Question: Is there a way to determine if a gamepad is connected to the PC with the new input system?

I am building an onboarding hint system for a game. It would be great to have the hints customized to suit the input devices available. For example, if there is no gamepad connected to the PC, then there is no need to show gamepad hints.

Thanks for any help.

Would generally recommend doing this by actively used control scheme. I.e. have one control scheme for kb&mouse and one for gamepad and then show hints depending on which ones is currently active.
