FAQs
How do I test controller vibration online? +
Open the vibration test in a browser that supports gamepad haptics, connect the controller, press a button, and send a short pulse.
Why does vibration work in games but not in the browser? +
Browser haptics support varies by browser, controller, connection type, and operating system. That does not automatically mean the motor is broken.
Should I replace a controller when vibration fails? +
Only after USB, browser support, game settings, and another device all show the same failure. A data cable or setting is often cheaper to fix.
Gamepad path
Run the source test.
Use the matching live tester first, then return to the model page only if the fault repeats.
