Gamepad tester: what it is for
Connect the controller by cable or Bluetooth and press any button: the controller drawing lights up each button you press, the triggers show the pressure and both sticks appear in circles with the exact X and Y position and the trail of the movement.
With the stick released, the dot should stay inside the center circle; if it stays far away, the controller has drift. You can also test vibration and see the raw values of each button and axis.
How to use
- Connect the controller and press a button.
- Press each button and move the sticks and triggers.
- Release the sticks to check for drift and test vibration.
When to use it
- Find out whether a stick has drift.
- Test a used controller before buying it.
- Check that every button works after a repair.
Frequently asked questions
The controller does not show up. What should I do?
Press a button after opening the page: for security, the browser only shows the controller after the first interaction. Use an up-to-date Chrome, Edge or Firefox. With Bluetooth, check that the controller is paired with the computer or phone.
What are drift and dead zone?
Drift is when the stick moves on its own, even when released. With the stick released, the dot should stay in the center. If it stays far from the center (more than 5% to 10%), the controller has drift: games make up for it with a dead zone, but heavy wear calls for cleaning or replacing the stick.
