Gamepad Bench
Test drift, buttons, triggers and polling rate
Screenshots
Gamepad Bench is a browser-based gamepad tester that measures controller sticks, buttons, triggers, deadzone and observed polling rate in a single focused workspace. It works with PS5, Xbox, Switch and PC controllers via the Gamepad API, with no install required. The tool runs entirely in the browser and nothing is uploaded or stored — controller identifiers and inputs stay on your device. Chrome and Edge currently offer the broadest Gamepad API support, and the tester starts immediately after the browser detects input from a controller connected via USB or Bluetooth.
Use Cases
- PS5 owners who suspect stick drift on the DualSense
- PC gamers verifying an Xbox controller's button map, trigger travel and analog center
- Gamers diagnosing a controller before deciding whether to repair or replace it
- Users comparing stick readings before and after calibration, cleaning or repair
- Players checking for missed inputs or sticky buttons across all face buttons, triggers and directions
- Users comparing polling rate across different browsers, cables or connections
