A single tool, done properly

Stick drift is one of the most common controller problems – and one of the most annoying, because it is hard to tell whether the stick is actually faulty or the game is just sensitive. Stick Drift Tester answers that one question with numbers: how far off-centre does each stick sit when nobody touches it?

What makes it different

• A clear verdict per stick instead of raw axis values only.
• A zoomed view of the stick centre, so even small drift is visible.
• A concrete deadzone suggestion you can enter in your game settings.
• A result link you can share – for example when selling or returning a controller.

How it is built

The tester runs entirely in your browser using the standard Gamepad API. There is no account, no install and no upload of controller data. The site is financed by advertising so it can stay free.

The exact method and its limits are documented on How it works. Found a bug or a controller that behaves oddly? Get in touch.
