About This Tool

This tool detects a connected game controller and shows every button press and analog stick movement live, so you can quickly check that everything on a controller is working correctly. Connect your controller (USB or Bluetooth) and press a button to activate it in your browser. Button presses light up instantly, trigger pressure shows as a percentage, and analog stick position is shown on a visual pad — useful for spotting stick drift, a stuck button, or a trigger that doesn't register full pressure.

Common Use Cases

  • Testing a controller for stick drift (the dot not returning to center when released)
  • Checking every button registers correctly on a new or secondhand controller
  • Diagnosing a trigger that doesn't reach full pressure or register at all
  • Quickly verifying a controller works before a gaming session

Frequently Asked Questions

My controller isn't detected. What should I do?

Make sure it's connected (USB plugged in, or Bluetooth paired) and press a button on it — some browsers only recognize a controller after the first button press, not just on connection.

The button labels don't match my controller. Why?

This tool uses the standard gamepad button mapping (Xbox-style labels like A/B/X/Y). Controllers with a non-standard layout may show different physical buttons under these labels, but every button press is still detected correctly.

What is stick drift and how do I spot it with this tool?

Stick drift is when an analog stick registers movement even when you're not touching it. Watch the stick indicator dot when you let go — it should snap back to the exact center. If it settles off-center, that's stick drift.
