Controller not detected by your browser?
A controller must be connected to the device running this page, not just to your console. Browser and operating-system support varies.
How to connect your controller to the tester
- Connect with a data-capable USB cable, or pair the controller in your device’s Bluetooth settings. A charging-only cable will not carry inputs.
- Return to the tester, focus the page and press a controller button. Some browsers hide controllers until you interact with them.
- Press “Check connection.” If you have several controllers connected, select the correct one.
- Close software that may take exclusive control of the controller, then disconnect and reconnect it.
- Try a current desktop Chromium or Firefox browser over HTTPS. Try USB if Bluetooth is not exposing the expected controls.
Controller connected, but the stick axes look wrong?
Nonstandard mappings use numbered browser axes. Select the axes for each plot and move one stick at a time to check your choices. Missing inputs, remapped values or no Gamepad API support do not prove a hardware fault.
Device-specific connection guidance
See the PS5 DualSense, PS4 DualShock 4 or Xbox controller pages for relevant setup steps. These devices are not universally supported. This MVP has not yet been physically validated on controllers; no compatibility certification is implied.
