Browser gamepad-axis inspection

Inspect browser-observed analog-stick axes and center offset for a connected standard-mapped controller.

All inputs, timing samples, device events, audio state, and results stay in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, persisted, placed in the URL, or sent to analytics.

Method

For each stick, center-offset magnitude is √(x² + y²). Polling uses requestAnimationFrame only while inspection is active and the page is visible.

Limitations

Gamepad mappings and browser support vary. One reading cannot prove a defect. This tool does not identify, persist, transmit, calibrate, repair, or change controller hardware or firmware.

Privacy

No account, server calculation, fetch, XHR, beacon, cookie, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, device identifier, or user-value telemetry is used.
