Browser-side diagnostic only. Connect the controller in your operating system first; this page cannot pair Bluetooth or install drivers. Results depend on the browser, operating system, connection and controller mapping.

INPUTS TO CHECK

What the tester should show

Face buttons
D-pad
L1/R1
L2/R2
Two sticks
Touchpad button

Press each control on the full gamepad tester. The button matrix and raw API panel are more reliable than a brand label when a controller is in a different mode.

OUTPUTS AND LIMITS

What may not appear

Rumble may be available
Advanced haptics are not exposed consistently

Rumble is an optional browser capability. A missing rumble button does not by itself prove that the motor is damaged.

KNOWN QUIRKS

Before calling it broken

Adaptive triggers and full touchpad coordinates are not guaranteed through the standard Gamepad API.
USB is usually the easiest connection to troubleshoot.
