PS4 controller test

Test browser-visible inputs from your PS4 DualShock 4 controller. Check button press and release states, trigger values and joystick axes without uploading readings.

ControllerWaiting for browser input

Buttons and triggers

Press buttons one at a time. “Not observed” is not a failure.

Button readings appear here after you start a test.

Joystick axes

Move a stick to check its browser-reported axis values.

Test vibration

If the controller and browser expose rumble, this plays a one-second dual-motor pulse. It does not test adaptive-trigger resistance, trigger haptics or DualSense light-bar and haptic effects.

Support is detected when you click it; some controllers cannot rumble in the browser.

Connect a PS4 DualShock 4 controller

01
Connect the controller with a compatible data-capable micro-USB cable. Charging-only cables will not transmit controller inputs.
02
On a supported Bluetooth device, disconnect USB and turn off the controller. Hold SHARE and PS until the light bar flashes, then select the controller in Bluetooth settings.
03
Focus this page, press a controller button and start the test. Check the face buttons, D-pad, L1/R1, L2/R2, SHARE, Options and stick clicks where exposed.

DualShock 4 button, trigger and stick readings

When the browser reports a standard mapping, this page uses PlayStation face-button labels plus SHARE and Options. Otherwise it displays raw numbered inputs. Connection method and remapping software may affect which inputs appear.

Test limitations

This test does not check light-bar control, motion sensors, headphone audio, DualSense/DualShock haptics, adaptive-trigger resistance, trigger rumble or touchpad coordinates. The input tester exposes a shared dual-motor rumble check that works only on browsers and controllers that report rumble support. A browser may expose a touchpad click separately, but that is not a full touchpad test. Physical DualShock 4 validation is still pending.

Readings stay in this page’s memory. No account, controller-reading uploads or automatic calibration. If an input is missing, check the connection and browser mapping before assuming a hardware fault.
