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
