# Gamepad Tester

> Test a PS5, PS4, Xbox or Switch controller in your browser: buttons, triggers, stick drift and vibration. Via USB or Bluetooth, no software.

Your character walks on its own, a button only works sometimes? Connect the controller, press any button and you see every press, the stick position and how far the triggers are pulled.

## How it works

1. Connect the controller via USB or Bluetooth.
2. Press any button so the browser detects it.
3. Let go of the sticks and check the drift display, then test buttons, triggers and vibration.

## FAQ

### How do I spot stick drift?

Let go of the stick. If the dot does not stay centered but shows movement beyond the deadzone, the stick is drifting.

### My controller is not detected.

Press a button first, the browser does not report a controller before that. If it still fails, try a USB cable and another browser, Chrome and Edge are the most reliable.
