Gamepad Tester

Gamepad Tester is a simple online tool that lets you check if your controller is working correctly directly in your browser. It uses the browser gamepad API to detect any connected USB controller or wireless controller without needing extra software. You can instantly see how each button, trigger, and analog stick responds in real time. It is especially helpful for identifying hardware faults before gameplay starts. It works on most modern browsers and requires no installation. The interface is visual and updates instantly as you interact with the controller, making troubleshooting fast and beginner friendly for all types of gamers.

To use it, connect your controller, open the page, and press any button. The tool will show button mapping so you can confirm each input is detected properly. You can also test joystick drift, check input lag, and observe dead zones to see if your analog stick is accurate. Many users use it for calibration before playing games to ensure smooth responsiveness.

The results help you understand whether your controller is healthy or has issues. If a button does not light up, it may be damaged. If movement feels off, the analog stick or sensitivity might need adjustment. You can also run a vibration test to confirm rumble feedback is working. This makes it useful for gamers, developers, and anyone troubleshooting controller problems.
