♥️myGamePad
Works perfectly every time. I have a total of 5 GamePad tvs and I have no problem switching between them right from the app.
Wouldn’t download even if it was free forever. Do not waste a .99 on this app, let alone $10….
If you want to se your controller on you iPhone, sure, waste you’re money.
All it does is show you pressing putting, and moving analog sticks. Nothing else….. there are free apps through windows, and I’m sure Mac that will tell you if they are off, and by how much. It doesn’t show pressure for dual sense either, so they are lying to you from the start. I wouldn’t keep this app if it was free.
Did not let it happen
Some sort right but still no real time

When connected, this test displays the current status of your gamepad, joystick, stick, and similar devices. Suitable for debugging and repairing broken controllers, as well as setting up experimental equipment. We use the HTML5 Gamepad Api so only modern browsers are supported, we recommend the latest version of Google Chrome.
Connect your gamepad to your computer and press the button on it to start.
FAQ
Why is my controller not showing up?
The gamepad API is still incompatible across browsers and operating systems. Check some points:
- Whether the device is connected to the network / whether it is connected via bluetooth.
- Press some buttons. On some devices, only certain buttons will wake up the gamepad API (for example, forms on PS3 controllers).
- Try changing the operating mode. Universal controllers can switch between several, for example: XINPUT (recommended mode for testing), DINPUT (obsolete), Switch.
- Close other applications that may be using the controller.
- Restart your web browser.
What information is shown here?
Multiple gamepads can be connected to the computer at once. When launched, the first one and its current state are displayed. If you want to check several different ones, choose any one from the drop down list at the top.
Analog Sticks: The current position of the gamepad’s analog inputs.
Buttons: Current button position pressed/released. The service supports analog triggers and buttons, shows their value depending on the degree of pressing.
How to test sticks?
Check the box next to «Stick error», then deflect the stick as much as possible to the side and slowly move it around the circumference.
As soon as you fill in the circle, you will get the final percentage error, as well as a visual deviation from the ideal circle.
«Drift multiplier» — the amount by which the data from the gamepad is increased to display orange dots inside the circle. Release the sticks so that they return exactly to the center, after which it will become noticeable in which direction the orange dot deviates. Please note that the coefficient amplifies the real data for visibility of the drift, in the game the drift will be equal to the value of 1.
How to set up the dead zones of the gamepad?
Dead Zone — necessary for many controllers and not a very pleasant software feature, designed to save the player from drifting when the centering of the sticks is knocked down and leads to a deviation from the center, which causes the crosshair, camera or character to move in a random direction when you are nowhere don’t press. Worst of all, constant gaming wears out the potentiometers inside, leading to even more drift and jitter (Jitter — random jitter).
To check for dead zones, try to slowly start to deflect the stick, watching for the moment when the center point in the test moves from its place in the desired direction. The interval of movement, when nothing happens, and there is a dead zone.
They are removed in several ways:
- In the game settings — most games offer to independently set comfortable values not only for sensitivity, but also for the zone we need, as well as acceleration.
- Via Steam — launch the game, open the steam overlay (Shift+Tab), select the controller configuration from the top right.
- In Windows settings — write in the search «configuring USB game controllers», go to the properties of the desired device, then the Options tab and the Calibrate button.
Where can I buy a gamepad without dead zones?
Do not believe the reviewers, sellers and «experts» from the forums who claim that there is nothing better than the original from PS or Box.
They are really good, but Sony even made a Stick Module in Dualsense, guess what. That’s right, to sell them as consumables. And the craftsmen also came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bsoldering tuning resistors into the Xbox, which must be adjusted as they wear out to compensate for the changes. Only in Yandex every month there are more than 2000 requests on the topic of a malfunction, you can search for the statistics of the English-speaking audience of Google in the west yourself.
At the time of writing this material (beginning of 2023), there are 2 gamepads with Hall effect sensors on the market, and modules for replacing native ones are being produced for the other two. Most likely, over time, more such devices will appear, and the aforementioned devices are imperfect and have their own flaws, so no specific model is listed here. Look for a device that suits you on your own using the query «Hall Effect Joystick» and study the reviews so as not to be disappointed due to other problems.
Why are the axes not 0?
Even if your gamepad is fully functional and has high-precision Hall effect sensors that are not subject to drift, the values should not always be 0. The sticks return to the center due to the spring inside, which is why they cannot be perfectly centered every time. This is fine.
What error is considered normal?
Potentiometers distort the signal during operation and inevitably wear out during use. The new Xbox Elite Series 2 and Sony DualSense controllers show an error in the region of 8%, which increases with wear. Cheap gamepads from lesser-known manufacturers can have 12-15% out of the box and noticeable dead zones. Controllers with Hall sensors show an error of about 0.5% and allow you to turn off dead zones. But keep in mind that the perfect circle is obtained due to the soft cutoff. For example, in XInput mode, the error is 0.5%, but in another mode it grows to 8%. The manufacturer can completely forget about this in all modes, so if you don’t get abnormally high numbers, everything is in order.
It is better to pay attention to the uniformity of movement, the symmetry of the filling and the absence of jitter.
Why do the button presses not match the indications in the diagram?
The click visualization is based on the standard Xbox layout. If you use a different layout, such as a Switch joystick, then the buttons and axes may not match.
Does the vibration work?
Vibration is supported in all modern browsers except Safari.
What about experimental features?
Functions such as Pose and HapticActuators are not widely used yet, and therefore are not on the page.
Why are the axis values strange?
Not all controllers appear the same across devices, browsers, and operating systems. The site simply renders what the Gamepad API returns.

Gamepads and joysticks — hire and rent in Moscow
You don’t have to buy gamepads to play games for 3-4 people. For many, the second participant is a rarity. And throw a party with a console — it’s easier to rent an additional joystick for PS4 or «juana».
What gamepads are for rent
Basically, the site presents gamepads for PS4 and XBox One. But controllers and accessories for old XBox 360 and PS3 consoles can also be rented here. Sometimes there are accessories for Nintendo. However, all these consoles are not as relevant as the latest Sonys and Juans.
Sony
DualShock 4 for the latest Sony has symmetrical «sticks» and is powered only by battery or wire. Gamepads also have a touchpad and a built-in speaker, but they are rarely supported. The PS4 joystick is more common in rentals, as are the Sony consoles themselves.
Microsoft
The One controller has sticks arranged asymmetrically, the gamepads are powered by batteries. There are batteries, but for many it is more convenient to change the batteries and not be distracted. Joysticks for XBox One are less likely to come across for rent, as are the consoles themselves.
Controllers are often produced in themed designs based on popular games. Technically, they are no different from the original. There are third-party controller developers. For example, budget Hori, classic Logitech and custom Scuf. Often «non-native models» are more convenient. Therefore, in principle, you can rent any joystick that is compatible with PS4 or XBox One. It is desirable that it be made under license from the manufacturer.
Rental price is for 3 days. Other common periods: 1 day or 1 week. To find out the price for a different period, click «Rent» and enter the exact start and end time. We’ll show you how much it costs.
Things to consider before renting a controller: PS4, XBox One, PC
If you have a console, any compatible accessories should work. Before picking up, check the condition of the item. The main thing is that the «sticks» are not erased — otherwise it will be completely inconvenient. In the case of Sony, you should look at the connection to the set-top box. He turned out to be quite fragile in Dualshock 4.
Although games are more important anyway. On consoles, there are enough interesting stories for two people, but with 3-4 participants, everything is not so rosy. For «X Box» there are cool Borderlands, Diablo 3, Overcooked 2, Rayman Legends, Trackmania Turbo. For PS4: Injustice 2, Lego Marvel Heroes 2 or freaky awesome indie slasher.
Sony also has an interesting PlayLink line — these are movie games that also support the 4-player mode on one console. For example, a cool detective turned out in Hidden Agenda, and in Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier they successfully adapted the classic film.
Many projects are available on both platforms. For example, interesting modes are obtained in FIFA, NBA and NHL sports simulators.
