Controller Tester: Find Out What Your Gamepad Is Actually Doing

checkmycontroller.com Observed source
Editorial interest 80/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based gamepad diagnostic that lights up buttons, reads triggers and sticks, measures drift, and tests vibration.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The tester uses the browser gamepad interface to expose button events, analog trigger pressure, stick coordinates, and vibration support. Its drift routine samples both sticks for approximately three seconds and uses 0.09 as a stated house threshold, while the guide distinguishes ordinary 0.01–0.02 resting noise from movement likely to affect games. The page also documents practical failure modes, including charge-only USB cables, background tabs, and controllers that remain hidden until a button is pressed.
