Understanding Gyro Aiming and Motion Sensor Calibration
Gyroscope sensors measure rotational speed and angular velocity across Pitch (elevation), Roll (tilt), and Yaw (rotation).
Controller Diagnostic
Gyroscope & Motion Tester
Test 3-axis motion sensors (Pitch, Roll, Yaw) on PS5 DualSense, Switch Pro, and DualShock 4 controllers. Free online gyro aiming diagnostic tool.
PITCH (X-AXIS) 0.0° Tilt Up / Down
ROLL (Y-AXIS) 0.0° Tilt Left / Right
YAW (Z-AXIS) 0.0° Rotate Flat
Motion Control Benchmarks
Motion sensors should report smooth angular changes across all 3 axes without drifting when resting flat on a desk.
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?
Select a diagnostic calibration suite, deadzone analyzer, or high-frequency overclock tool.
Fix
Repair & Calibration
Calibrate zero-point offsets or follow step-by-step repair guides.
Optimize
Game Deadzones
Calculate exact radial vs axial deadzone overlays for Fortnite, Apex, & COD.
Telemetry
Overclock & Circularity
Verify true hardware polling Hz stability and statistical circularity grades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about testing your controller.
How do I test motion controls on PS5 DualSense or Switch Pro?
Connect your controller via USB or Bluetooth and tilt the controller up, down, left, and right. Pitch, Roll, and Yaw angles will update live on screen.
Why is gyro aiming popular in competitive shooters?
Gyro aiming combines coarse thumbstick camera panning with fine motion-assisted crosshair micro-adjustments, delivering mouse-like accuracy on gamepads.
Does Xbox Wireless Controller have a built-in gyroscope?
No. Standard Xbox Wireless Controllers do not feature internal motion sensors or gyroscopes. DualSense, Switch Pro, and DualShock 4 support motion controls.
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.
