Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my joystick showing up in this joystick test?

Most browsers only detect a joystick after you press a button or move an axis on it. If nothing appears, try pressing a button, check that the joystick is properly connected, and make sure your browser supports the Gamepad API (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all support it).

Can this joystick test detect stick drift?

Yes. If an axis shows a value other than 0.00 while the stick is centered and untouched, that indicates drift. Small values under about 0.05 are usually normal sensor noise rather than true drift.

Does this joystick test work with flight sticks and HOTAS setups?

Yes, as long as your operating system recognizes the device as a standard HID game controller, this tool can read its axes and buttons through the browser's Gamepad API.

Do I need to install anything to use this joystick test?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Gamepad API. Just connect your joystick and press a button or move the stick to begin.
