How to test your gamepad online

- Try the buttons, sticks, and triggers. Their values update automatically.
- Release the controls to inspect their resting values. Use Test vibration if your controller supports it.
Which controllers can I test?
The tester reads controllers exposed through your browser’s Gamepad API, including compatible Xbox, PlayStation, and other USB or Bluetooth controllers. Support depends on the device, operating system, connection, and browser. A controller that works in a game may still need a button press before it appears here.
Why do some controllers show numbered buttons and axes?
A standard browser mapping lets the tester label sticks, triggers, and buttons consistently. When that mapping is unavailable, it shows every reported button and axis by index. Move one control at a time to identify the matching reading; the page does not guess a layout from the controller’s name.
Can this test help me check stick drift?
Release the sticks and inspect their axis values. A value away from the center shows what the browser is receiving at rest. Small offsets alone do not prove a fault: games may apply their own deadzones, and browser readings do not measure hardware latency or polling rate.
