Disclaimer

Welcome to GamepadTester (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing and using this website at any time, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Disclaimer.

GamepadTester is a free, browser-based utility tool designed to help users test and diagnose their gamepad, controller, or joystick inputs. While we strive to provide a reliable and accurate testing experience, there are inherent limitations to any browser-based tool that users should be aware of.

GamepadTester is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We make no representation or warranty that:

• The tool will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available.
• Any defects or errors in the tool will be corrected.
• The tool is free of viruses or other harmful components (though we take care to ensure this).
• The results produced by the tool are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.

GamepadTester uses the standard HTML5 Gamepad API built into modern browsers. However, compatibility varies significantly depending on your setup. We do not guarantee that this tool will work with all devices, browsers, or operating systems.

• Browser support — The Gamepad API is best supported in Chrome and Edge. Firefox and Safari may have limited or inconsistent support for certain controller features.
• Controller types — Most standard USB and Bluetooth gamepads are supported, but some proprietary, legacy, or niche controllers may not be detected correctly.
• Operating system — Driver support and OS-level gamepad handling can affect what this tool can detect, independent of the tool itself.
• Connection method — Wireless Bluetooth connections may behave differently from wired USB connections in the browser.

We recommend testing with a supported browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for the best results.

The readings displayed by GamepadTester (button states, axis values, trigger levels, etc.) reflect what the browser’s Gamepad API reports to us. These values may not always precisely match the raw hardware output of your controller due to:

• Browser-level input processing or filtering
• Operating system driver interpretation
• Bluetooth or USB latency and signal noise
• Controller firmware behavior
• Deadzone settings applied by the OS or browser

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GamepadTester and its owner(s) shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Your use of, or inability to use, this website or tool
• Any decisions made based on the results displayed by this tool
• Hardware purchases, returns, or modifications made based on test results
• Technical issues, inaccurate readings, or tool malfunctions
• Any interruption or cessation of the service

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount paid by you (if any) to access this service — which, as a free tool, is zero.
