About Gamepad Tester
This tool uses your browser’s Gamepad API to test and visualise all inputs from your controller in real-time — buttons, analog sticks, triggers and D-pad — so you can confirm everything works before playing.
How to Use
- Connect your gamepad to your PC or laptop (USB or Bluetooth).
- Check the real-time input display above.
- Press every button, move the sticks, and test the triggers.
- Use the vibration test (if supported) to confirm feedback.
Supported Controllers
Xbox (One / Series X|S), PlayStation DualShock / DualSense, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, Steam Controller, Generic USB — and more, via the Gamepad API.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool work with wireless controllers?
Yes, if your browser sees the controller via Bluetooth or a wireless receiver.
Can I test PS5 or Xbox controllers?
Yes — both are supported through the Gamepad API in Chromium browsers.
Why are some buttons not showing?
Some browsers map buttons differently, or the controller needs a button press first to be detected.
