How to Get Started
Just three steps to run a complete controller test and understand your controller's health status.
01
Connect Controller
Connect your controller to your computer via USB cable or Bluetooth. If the browser doesn't respond, press any button on the controller to activate the connection.
02
Button Detection
Press each button in the visual interface and confirm the corresponding area lights up on screen. This helps troubleshoot unresponsive or double-clicking buttons.
03
Sticks & Vibration
Rotate the sticks to check linearity and drift issues; click the vibration test button to feel if the left and right motor feedback is working properly.
What would you like to do next?

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about testing your controller.
How do I test an Arcade Stick, Hitbox, or Mixbox controller?
Connect your arcade stick or leverless controller via USB. The tool displays a Vewlix 8-button layout (LP, MP, HP, LK, MK, HK) and tests Sanwa microswitch response.
What is SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions) cleaning?
SOCD cleaning rules dictate how leverless Hitbox controllers handle simultaneous opposing direction inputs (e.g. Left + Right or Up + Down) to ensure tournament compliance under Capcom Pro Tour rules.
Does this tool support Sanwa, Seimitsu, and Crown arcade buttons?
Yes! It tests all Japanese microswitches and Brook Universal Fighting Boards.
How this test works & its limits
- This test reads your controller through the browser's standard Gamepad API — no drivers, no installs, nothing leaves your device.
- Readings depend on connection mode: Bluetooth reports at lower rates than USB. Compare like-for-like (wired vs wired).
- We measure the input reaching the browser — display lag and game-engine queues are outside this test's view.
- A clean reading now does not guarantee no drift in-game: deadzones differ per game, and wear develops over time. Use the Drift Timeline to track yours.
- This is a diagnostic, not a hardware-lab certification. For repair or RMA decisions, confirm with a second run or second tool.
100% Client-Side
All Gamepad API data stays in your browser. Zero tracking or data collection.
