Game Controller Tester

Game Controller Tester is a tool designed to test and diagnose video game controllers connected to a Windows PC. This software allows you to confirm the proper operation of your controllers, test all the buttons, analog joysticks, triggers, and sensors, and receive real-time visual feedback on the inputs made. It is perfect for gamers looking to ensure their controllers are working correctly and developers who need to test different hardware configurations.

Automated detection of connected controllers

One of Game Controller Tester's most useful features is its ability to automatically detect controllers connected to the system. When you connect a controller to the PC, the app recognizes the device immediately, eliminating the need for complicated manual configurations. This is especially useful for those with multiple controllers or different types of input devices, as the compatibility and performance of each one can be verified without any problems.

Testing of all buttons and inputs

The tool provides a complete breakdown of all controller inputs, allowing you to test the action buttons, triggers, analog sticks, and D-pads. When anything is pressed or moved, the app displays a visual representation confirming that the input has been registered correctly. This is particularly useful for detecting unresponsive buttons or inputs not registering consistently. You can also check trigger pressure and joystick accuracy, helping to ensure your controller performs as it should while you play.

Analog movements and sensors

As well as the buttons, Game Controller Tester provides full support for testing analog sticks' sensitivity and range of motion and other sensors. The app shows you a real-time visual chart of each movement, allowing you to see if they offer accurate and smooth movement in all directions. This helps you diagnose issues like drift, a common defect where the joysticks send unwanted signals even when not moving.

Support for USB and Bluetooth controllers

The app offers support for a wide variety of controllers, including USB and wireless devices that connect via Bluetooth. This includes controllers from a wide range of brands, from popular Xbox controllers to third-party devices. You can connect a controller wirelessly and run the tests in the same way as a wired controller. This ensures you can test out virtually any input device used for gaming on your PC, ensuring everything is in good working order.

Support for Xbox controllers

Since a great number of PC gamers use Xbox controllers, Game Controller Tester is optimized for testing these devices. This includes full support for all Xbox controller-specific buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks. You can easily check button sensitivity, test any connected devices to ensure there are no issues with drift, and ensure the vibration motors are working correctly. This optimization for Xbox controllers is a major plus, as these are the most commonly used controllers among PC gamers due to their native Windows compatibility.
