Test your gamepad or controller in the browser. See real-time button presses, joystick movements, and axis values for any connected controller.
About Gamepad Tester
Plug in a gamepad, open this page, and every button press lights up instantly — no drivers, no setup, just your browser doing the work. Gamepad Tester reads real-time input from any connected controller: face buttons, shoulder triggers, thumbstick axes, and D-pad directions all report their exact values as you interact with them. It's the fastest way to confirm whether a button is actually registering or just feeling mushy.
This is genuinely useful before a long session — if a trigger is drifting or a stick isn't centering, you'll catch it here rather than mid-game. It works with Xbox, PlayStation, and most third-party controllers that the browser's Gamepad API recognizes. Browse more utilities like this in gaming tools.
Axis values display as precise decimals, so you can spot subtle stick drift that binary pass/fail tests miss — handy if you're diagnosing a controller before deciding whether to replace it.
