Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Test
Test Switch Pro Controller sticks, face buttons, D-pad, and shoulders online. Understand browser labels and feature limitations.
Local-only test
Connect with USB, Bluetooth, or a supported wireless adapter. Then press any controller button so your browser can expose it. Your readings are processed on this device.

Axes and mapping
Use these values to spot unusual layouts. A blank standard mapping does not automatically mean the controller is defective.

Reports are stored in this browser. Sharing is optional and puts only the selected result in the link.
Diagnostic readings describe what this browser receives, not electrical measurements from the controller. Confirm important findings in the game or device where you plan to use the controller.
What this browser check can reveal
Connect a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and use the live panel to verify the standard inputs exposed by your browser. Check both sticks, face buttons, shoulders, D-pad, stick clicks, Plus, and Minus where available.
Nintendo's printed A/B and X/Y positions differ from the labels used by the common Xbox-style browser mapping. A physical button can therefore be reported under a standard position-based label that looks unfamiliar without being incorrectly wired.
HD Rumble, NFC, motion controls, the Home light, and other Nintendo-specific features are outside the normal browser gamepad interface. Test those features on a Switch or with supported native software.

A practical controller checklist.
- 01
Confirm the controller appears and the reported name or identifier is plausible.
- 02
Press and release every button, D-pad direction, stick click, bumper, and trigger.
- 03
Run the hands-off drift sample, then sweep both sticks through their full range.
- 04
Disconnect and repeat in the connection mode you actually plan to use.
- 05
Verify any fault inside a supported game or console before making a purchase or repair decision.
Compatibility is a chain, not a promise
Letter labels can differ even when the physical button positions are mapped correctly.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Test questions
Why are A and B or X and Y swapped?
Nintendo and Xbox use different printed letter positions. The browser's standard mapping is position based, while games and compatibility tools may choose either naming convention.
Can the page test motion controls or HD Rumble?
No. Those Nintendo-specific features are not part of the standard browser gamepad input used by this tester.
Why does it work in Steam but not here?
Steam Input can add its own driver and translation layer. A browser depends on the controller support exposed directly by the operating system and browser.
