Controller Tests

Test gamepad buttons, analog sticks, vibration, and stick drift.

Why Test Your Game Controller?

Analog stick drift, unresponsive buttons, and inconsistent triggers are common problems with game controllers — especially after extended use. A browser-based controller test lets you diagnose these issues instantly without installing any software. Just plug in your controller and start testing.

DeviceKit supports Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch Pro, and most generic USB and Bluetooth controllers through the standard Gamepad API. Your controller input is read locally in your browser and is never sent to any server.

Common Controller Issues

Stick drift is the most common controller problem — your character moves or the camera rotates without touching the analog stick. This is caused by wear on the stick's potentiometer. The drift test visualizes your stick's resting position and movement range so you can measure how severe the drift is.

Button tests verify that every button on your controller registers correctly. Trigger tests check that your analog triggers report a smooth range from 0% to 100%. If a button does not register or a trigger jumps between values, the controller may need cleaning or replacement.
