Test matrix

What to test and what a pass actually tells you

Run the test closest to the symptom. A passing result narrows the diagnosis; it does not certify the entire device.

Gamepad Controller TestTest browser-detected controller buttons and analog axes.

A pass proves browser input events are arriving; app/game mappings, profiles and accessibility settings move higher on the list.

→
Controller Button TestInspect controller button state and analog button values.

A pass proves browser input events are arriving; app/game mappings, profiles and accessibility settings move higher on the list.

→
Controller Stick Drift TestMeasure resting stick offset to identify possible stick drift.

A pass proves browser input events are arriving; app/game mappings, profiles and accessibility settings move higher on the list.

→
Controller Dead Zone TestInspect how far a stick moves before input appears.

A pass proves browser input events are arriving; app/game mappings, profiles and accessibility settings move higher on the list.

→
Controller Trigger TestInspect trigger minimum, maximum, and analog range.

A pass proves browser input events are arriving; app/game mappings, profiles and accessibility settings move higher on the list.

Model-specific problems

Start with the symptom people actually search for

These paths combine this model's documented limits with live evidence, instead of copying a generic troubleshooting checklist.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller not detected on computerFirst separate controller hardware from host/browser mapping. Nintendo documents Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity; DeviceOK can check whether the browser receives standardized Gamepad events, but Nintendo-specific features and OS driver behavior remain outside browser control.

Evidence handoff

If the browser cannot reach the suspected subsystem

Keep the browser result as one observation, then move to the operating system or manufacturer diagnostic that can see the protected hardware state. Do not interpret an unsupported browser API as a failed component.
