Test any PS5, Xbox, Switch or PC gamepad in your browser. Check stick drift, buttons, triggers, deadzone and observed polling rate for free.
Test PS5, Xbox, Switch and PC controller sticks, buttons, triggers, deadzone and observed polling rate in one focused workspace. Nothing is uploaded. Then press any controller button. Chrome and Edge offer the broadest Gamepad API support. Ready when you are Connect a controller or open the demo to see live diagnostics. Polling rate is inferred from Gamepad API timestamp changes. It is useful for comparison, not proof of end-to-end hardware latency. Non-standard mappings expose raw axis indices rather than guaranteed left/right stick assignments. Measure ten seconds of untouched stick input, compare a before and after result, then export a local report. For a comparable result, place the…from gamepadbench.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.
