GamePad Gauge Checks Your Controller in the Browser

Editorial interest 74/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A set of browser-based diagnostics for gamepad buttons, triggers, analog sticks, stick drift, and deadzones.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

GamePad Gauge splits controller diagnosis into button, stick-drift, and deadzone checks rather than presenting one undifferentiated tester. It relies on the browser Gamepad API, and the page says input is processed locally rather than uploaded. Detection may require the user to connect a controller and press a button, with support advertised for Xbox, PlayStation, and most USB or Bluetooth gamepads.
