Test your gamepad

Press a button on the controller and watch every input the browser sees — buttons with real names when the mapping is standard, live axes, and a vibration pulse you explicitly fire.

Waiting for a controller

Press any button on the controller to wake it — browsers only expose a gamepad after its first input. Some wireless controllers also need their mode switched (Xbox/Nintendo/Android) before the mapping lands.

Rules this tool follows
  • Press any button on the controller to wake it — browsers only expose a gamepad after its first input. Some wireless controllers also need their mode switched (Xbox/Nintendo/Android) before the mapping lands.
  • The Gamepad API has no events for button changes — the page polls while the controller is connected, and stops the moment it disconnects.
  • mapping: 'standard' means the browser promises the spec layout, so labels are real names. 'nonstandard' means raw indices only — labels would be guesses, so there are none.
  • This tool exists for hub completeness: it shows what the browser sees, for debugging a controller setup. It makes no claims about latency, polling rate quality, or gaming performance.
  • The vibration actuator is only reported present; the test pulse plays solely when you press the button, and unsupported pads honestly read 'no actuator'.
