My controller does nothing — why?

The Gamepad API requires at least one button press after connection before it reports the device. Press any button to wake it up.

Does the tool support vibration?

No. Vibration is a separate API with patchy support. The tester focuses on button and stick input only.

Which controllers work?

Anything the browser recognises as a standard gamepad — Xbox, DualShock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro, and most generic USB pads.

Gamepad Tester

● Live · Client only

Plug in a controller and press any button. Every button press and analog stick is visualized live — up to four gamepads at once.

Connect a controller over USB or Bluetooth, then press any button to wake the browser's Gamepad API. Button and stick data stays on your device — nothing is transmitted.

Most controllers work — Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, and generic USB/Bluetooth gamepads. Make sure this tab is focused.
