What we do
We make browser-based tests for game controllers: a full gamepad tester, plus focused tools for stick drift, vibration, buttons, deadzones, polling rate and motion sensors. Each tool gives a plain verdict and tells you what to try next.
How we test
Our thresholds and advice come from testing real controllers: new and worn DualSense, DualShock 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Elite, Switch Pro, Joy-Con, 8BitDo and GameSir pads, over USB and Bluetooth, in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. When browser support changes, we retest and update the pages.
Our principles
- Private by design. Every test runs in your browser. No controller data is uploaded, and there are no accounts.
- Fast. No frameworks, no heavy scripts. The tester is ready the moment the page loads.
- Accessible. Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, readable contrast and reduced-motion support.
- Plain English. Short sentences and clear numbers, so anyone can read a result.
