Neutral sample
Stick drift and deadzone
Set the controller on a steady surface and do not touch either stick during the sample.
Ready for an 8-second sample.

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.

Vibration check
Browser haptics are not available for every controller, connection method, operating system, or browser.
Connect a controller to check browser support.
Did you feel the pulse?

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.
Use the test as evidence, not a pass/fail sticker.
The vibration test checks whether the connected gamepad exposes a browser-accessible haptic actuator, then lets you request a short, user-initiated rumble. Support varies widely by controller, browser, operating system, connection type, and permission state.
Start with a low-intensity, brief pulse while holding the controller securely. If the page reports that haptics are unavailable, the controller may still vibrate normally in supported games because browser access is a separate capability.
A successful pulse confirms only that this browser could send a vibration request during the test. It does not validate every motor, adaptive trigger, speaker, or platform-specific haptic effect.
Signals to watch
- Feature detection before a rumble request
- Short, user-controlled vibration pulse
- Clear unsupported or blocked status
- Connection-specific troubleshooting guidance
Run a repeatable check.
- 01
Connect the controller and press any button so the browser can detect it.
- 02
Use the focused test panel slowly and deliberately. Watch the live values during presses, holds, movement, and release.
- 03
Repeat any suspicious result after reconnecting, then confirm it in the game or device where the controller will be used.
What a useful result looks like.
Look for repeatable behavior rather than a single momentary value. Stable, symmetric movement and clean press-and-release behavior are generally more useful signs than chasing a perfect zero.
If a result changes substantially between USB and wireless modes, browsers, or computers, the connection, driver, browser, or remapping software may be part of the problem.
Important browser-test limits
Place the controller where it cannot fall before starting vibration.
Questions about controller vibration test
Why does vibration work in games but not in the browser?
Games can use native controller APIs and vendor features that webpages cannot access. Browser haptic support also differs by platform, browser version, and wired or wireless connection.
Does this test support DualSense advanced haptics?
It does not reproduce PlayStation 5 game effects. At most, a browser may expose a basic vibration actuator; advanced haptics and adaptive triggers normally require platform-specific software.
Is the vibration test safe?
The tool requests only a brief pulse after you choose to start it. Stop if the controller makes an unusual sound, becomes hot, or behaves unexpectedly.
