Controller Vibration Test
Test your controller's vibration motors with different intensities and patterns
Left Motor
Right Motor
No controller detected. Connect a controller and press any button to start testing vibration.
Controller Calibration Tool
Fix stick drift and button issues with our calibration tool. Works with PS5 controller calibration, Xbox, and all other gamepads.
PS5 Controller Calibration Steps
Center all sticks and don't touch any buttons
Click 'Start Calibration' and follow on-screen instructions
Test your controller after calibration to confirm improvements
Fix PS5 Controller Stick Drift
Use calibration to check stick drift issues commonly found in PS5 controllers. Regular testing helps confirm whether precision is improving or the controller needs repair.
PC Controller Calibration
Fine-tune your PC controller after driver, Steam, or browser changes. This is useful when competitive games need predictable stick and trigger input.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start testing my controller?
Connect your controller by USB or Bluetooth and press any button. The tester detects the gamepad and shows buttons, sticks, triggers and vibration feedback in real time.
Which controllers are supported?
The tester supports major PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch Pro, Steam, SCUF and generic USB or Bluetooth gamepads that expose standard browser gamepad inputs.
How do I test controller vibration?
Use the vibration test controls to check both motors, adjust intensity, choose a pattern and confirm whether the controller responds consistently.
What should I do if my controller is not detected?
Reconnect the controller, press a button to wake it, check battery level, try another USB cable or Bluetooth pairing, and test again in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Supported Controllers and Compatibility
The gamepad tester supports modern gaming controllers through the standard Gamepad API. You can test console controllers on PC or check a dedicated PC gamepad with the same real-time input display.

Tip: For best results, use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Safari has more limited gamepad support.
Understanding Your Gamepad Test Results
The tester measures the key signals that show whether your controller is healthy: latency, stick precision, button response, and vibration behavior.
Input latency
Input latency is the delay between pressing a button and the browser registering it. As a rough guide, under 20ms wired and under 30ms wireless is usually responsive enough for most games.
Analog stick precision
A centered stick should stay close to 0,0 when untouched. If the dot drifts away from center, the controller may have stick drift that can affect aiming or camera control.
Button response
Each button should light up immediately when pressed. Trigger pressure should move smoothly from 0 to 100%, which matters for racing and action games.
Vibration motors
Use the vibration test to check weak and strong rumble motors at different intensities. Uneven or weak feedback can point to motor wear or power issues.
Optimize Gaming Performance with Regular Testing
Regular controller testing helps catch drift, latency, and button problems before they affect important games or repair decisions.
For competitive players
Small input problems can matter in ranked games. Testing before serious sessions gives you a clean baseline.
- - Test before ranked sessions to confirm response
- - Compare multiple controllers to pick the best one
- - Document controller condition for warranty claims
- - Detect degradation before it affects gameplay
Maintenance best practices
Preventive checks make it easier to see whether cleaning, firmware updates, or calibration actually helped.
- - Test after firmware updates
- - Check for drift after long sessions
- - Verify repairs and calibration
- - Test before and after cleaning
When to repair or replace your controller
Use the test results to decide whether a problem is small enough to repair or serious enough to replace.
Worth repairing
- - Minor stick drift under about 15% deviation
- - One non-responsive button
- - Weak vibration on one motor
- - USB port connection issues
Consider replacing
- - Severe drift on multiple sticks
- - Multiple button failures
- - Inconsistent input registration
- - Physical damage to housing or triggers
