Measure the signal, not the guess
Run a full browser-based Xbox controller check for XInput buttons, analog sticks, triggers, D-pad and rumble.
- A, B, X and Y face buttons
- D-pad, bumpers and menu buttons
- Left and right analog sticks
- LT / RT travel and supported rumble
Test conditions matter
Use a wired connection when possible, close other controller software, and press a button after the device is connected.
- Use USB when diagnosing connection issues.
- Press a face button after the page loads.
- Close Steam Input if the mapping looks unexpected.
