Gyroscope Test for PC and browser troubleshooting
Move a compatible controller to inspect motion sensor availability and understand which gyroscope values are exposed to the web platform. Connect the device, press a control, and compare the live values with the physical response. Results depend on browser support, operating-system mapping, firmware, and the USB or wireless connection path.
How to run an online controller gyroscope test
Select Request motion permission and move the device while watching pitch, roll, and yaw rate values. On phones and tablets, these readings usually describe the device running the browser. Keep the page visible and use a secure HTTPS connection because modern browsers restrict motion access for privacy.
Why PS5 DualSense and Switch gyro may not appear
The standard Gamepad API provides buttons and axes but does not define controller gyroscope or accelerometer fields. A DualSense, DualShock, Joy-Con, or Switch Pro Controller can therefore work as a gamepad while its motion sensors remain invisible to this page. DeviceMotion readings are not proof that a connected controller gyro is available.
Understand pitch, roll, and yaw motion readings
Pitch describes rotation around the side-to-side axis, roll around the front-to-back axis, and yaw around the vertical axis. Browser implementations and device orientation can change which property corresponds to a physical movement, so test one rotation at a time rather than comparing absolute values across devices.
Use official tools for controller motion sensor diagnosis
A missing web reading does not mean the motion sensor is broken. Confirm controller gyro behavior in a supported console game, Steam Input, or manufacturer software that can access device-specific reports. This page documents browser capability and cannot calibrate or modify a controller motion sensor.
