Controller Tests
Controller Tests on DeviceHub cover the full browser Gamepad suite: button presence, analog stick travel, LT/RT trigger ranges, dual-rumble vibration when the API allows, Standard versus raw mapping inspection, best-effort reaction timing, and rest/extreme axis captures. Everything runs locally from the Gamepad API, no installs and no permission prompts.
Start with Gamepad Test or Joystick Test for everyday smoke checks, then use Trigger, Vibration, Mapping, Gamepad Reaction Time, and Calibration tools when a specific symptom needs a sharper lens. Results stay honest about browser limits so you triage hardware before blaming a single game or remapper.
