Controller Check

Terms of Use and Disclaimer

By 1000 Ventures Last reviewed

Controller Check is a free tool for checking a game controller in your browser. By using it you agree to these short terms.

What the tool is

The gamepad tester shows the values your browser receives from your controller and gives a practical reading of them. It is not a calibrated lab instrument. Results depend on your controller, its connection, your operating system and your browser. A verdict such as "drift" is our guidance, not a diagnosis a maker or seller has to accept.

Vibration

The vibration test runs the motors for one second at full strength. Hold the controller firmly and do not run it on a surface where it could fall.

Guides

Our guides describe settings and steps as we found them when we wrote them. Software changes and menus move. Opening a controller can void its warranty, and we say so where it matters. If a step no longer matches what you see, check the maker's own help pages, and please tell us so we can fix it.

Fair use

Use the site for its purpose. Do not try to break it, overload it or use it to harm others.

No warranty

The site and tool are provided as is, without warranty of any kind. We do our best to keep them correct and available, but we are not liable for any loss that comes from using them, as far as the law allows.

Trademarks

PlayStation, DualSense and DualShock belong to Sony Interactive Entertainment. Xbox belongs to Microsoft. Nintendo Switch and Joy-Con belong to Nintendo. Steam belongs to Valve. 8BitDo, PowerA and other names belong to their owners. We mention them only to describe how to use their products. Controller Check is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. The current version is always on this page. Last reviewed . Questions: michael@1000ventures.io.
