Rotate the joysticks

Spin both sticks in full circles, then let go. If a stick stays off-center, it has stick drift.

5

Run the vibration test

Trigger a quick shake or loop vibration to make sure the rumble motors work.

How Controller Vibration Testing Works

Most gaming controllers have two different vibration motors built inside:

  • Heavy Rumble Motor (Left Grip): Creates deep, powerful shakes for in-game explosions, car crashes, and heavy recoil.
  • Light Buzz Motor (Right Grip): Produces fast, gentle buzzing for footsteps, button clicks, and subtle game cues.
  • PS5 DualSense Haptics: PlayStation 5 controllers use advanced audio haptics to recreate feelings like rain or footsteps.

Browser Support for Controller Vibration

Controller vibration works in all Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera). On Mac, make sure your controller is plugged in with a USB cable or paired over Bluetooth.
