Grade Threshold Scale

95–100 · Grade A+ Tournament Grade

Zero drift, flawless circularity, 1000Hz response capability. Ready for competitive play.

75–94 · Grade B Standard Play Condition

Minor drift or trigger wear manageable with 5% deadzone adjustment.

< 75 · Grade C / F Repair Recommended

Potentiometer replacement or deadzone tuning needed immediately.

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.

Why Every Gamer Should Know Their Controller Health Score

Hardware wear occurs gradually over hundreds of hours of gameplay. By tracking your controller's Health Score over time, you can catch potentiometer drift and button degradation before it affects tournament matches or ranked competitive play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about testing your controller.

How is the Controller Health Score™ calculated?

The score is calculated using a weighted formula: Stick Drift (30%), Circularity Error (20%), Button Matrix Response (15%), Trigger Linearity (15%), Polling Rate (10%), and Haptic Vibration (10%).

Can I print or save my controller health certificate?

Yes! Click "Print / Export PDF Certificate" to generate an official verified test report card for warranty claims or proof when selling your controller.

What is a passing Controller Health Score?

A score of 85+ (Grade A) indicates excellent competition-grade performance. Scores below 70 (Grade C) indicate noticeable drift or switch wear requiring repair or replacement.

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.
