Controller Testing Tools — Every Test for Every Gamepad in One Place
Test every input on your controller — buttons, sticks, triggers, vibration and DualSense haptics — with browser-based tools that work on PS5, Xbox, Switch Pro and PC gamepads. No downloads, no signup, nothing leaves your device.
The full controller testing library is organised by what you're trying to check. Browse by component if you know exactly which input is acting up — stick drift in the analog sticks category, hair trigger response under triggers, dead motors under vibration and haptics. If you're not sure which test you need, the categories are laid out so the relevant tools sit next to each other. Every tool runs entirely in your browser, uses the standard Gamepad API, and works without installing anything. Pick a category below to find your tool, or scroll through the full grid to see everything at a glance.
Controller Button Test
Check every button on your controller — face, shoulders, sticks, D-pad and system keys.
Open tool →Analog Sticks Test
Real-time X/Y precision readout — spot drift, dead zones and uneven stick response.
Open tool →D-pad Tester
Test Up, Down, Left, Right and all four diagonals — catch ghost inputs and stuck contacts.
Open tool →Bumper Test — L1/R1, LB/RB
Confirm each shoulder bumper registers — catch a sticky or dead bumper before it costs you.
Open tool →Adaptive Trigger Tester
PS5 DualSense — fire trigger effects, feel resistance, verify L2 and R2 haptics still work.
Open tool →Stick Click Test — L3/R3
Press straight down on each stick — catch a dead L3 or R3 before it breaks crouch and melee.
Open tool →Start / Select / Home Test
Test the system buttons — Share, Options, Xbox, PS button — before warranty runs out.
Open tool →Touchpad Test — PS4 / PS5
Swipe across DualShock or DualSense — see live coordinates, click registration, dead zones.
Open tool →Controller Vibration Tester
Fire left and right rumble motors independently — confirm both sides work for warranty.
Open tool →Multi-Controller Test
Up to four gamepads at once — check every player's inputs before local co-op night.

Stick Drift Test
Idle position offset detection — see if your sticks are reading movement when they shouldn't be.
Run drift test →Circularity Test
Rotate the stick around its full edge — see how round the trace is and detect worn sticks.
Run circularity test →Dead Zone Calibration
Adjustable visualizer — find the exact dead zone that cancels drift without losing control.
Calibrate dead zone →Stick Range Test
Full edge-to-edge travel — sweep to every edge and check if your stick reaches its limits.
Test stick range →Stick Return-to-Center Test
Spring response speed — push to the edge, release, measure return-to-centre in milliseconds.
Test snap-back →Stick Consistency Test
Same input, same output — push to one target five times, see how tightly the readings group.
Run consistency test →Stick Precision Test
Micro-movement accuracy — land six tiny targets near centre to score your fine-input control.
Test precision →Button Latency Test
Press-to-register delay — measure your controller's input latency across 10 timed trials.

Trigger Linearity Test
Pull L2 or R2 from rest to full and the tool draws your trigger's response curve live against a perfect diagonal. Stepped traces reveal a worn potentiometer, flat plateaus point to debris in the pivot, and vertical jumps near full pull mean the Hall sensor magnet has drifted. The single most revealing test on this page.

Trigger Dead Zone & Hair Trigger Test
Activation point and pre-travel measurement for Scuf, Elite, and modded pads.
Vibration & Haptics Tests
Four tools for testing rumble motors, vibration patterns, and the DualSense's precision haptic actuators. From basic left-right motor verification through custom rhythm sequencing to PS5's voice-coil hardware — every test that drives what your controller vibrates with lives here.
Dual Motor Test
Fire the left low-frequency motor and the right high-frequency motor independently at light or heavy intensity. The standard rumble verification test.
Test left & right →Vibration Pattern Test
Run pulse, wave, sawtooth, heartbeat, and Morse patterns with adjustable 0–100% intensity. Build custom rhythms in the designer.
Run pattern library →DualSense Haptic Feedback Test
Run rain, footsteps, weapon fire, and other LRA-tuned effects on the PS5 DualSense's voice-coil actuators. PS5-specific.
Test DualSense haptics →Adaptive Trigger Test
PS5-specific — fire trigger effects, feel resistance and tension curves, and verify L2 and R2 adaptive trigger motors still respond.
