Frequently Asked Questions

What does Gamepad / Controller Test check?

Connected pads, button presses by index, and stick/trigger axis values via the browser Gamepad API. Everything stays in the tab.

Do I need to allow camera or microphone access?

No. This tool uses the Gamepad API only - no getUserMedia and no camera or mic permission prompt.

Why does nothing show until I press a button?

Most browsers hide pads until you press a button after the page is open. Click Enable, then press any button on the controller.

Is my controller input uploaded?

No. Poll counts and axis values stay in the page session. Reset clears them; closing the tab drops them.
