Free online controller vibration and rumble test

This focused vibration checker sends short patterns that are easy to feel and repeat. It never stores controller identifiers or input data.

How to run a controller vibration test online

Connect a compatible controller, click a pattern, and feel for the response from its rumble motors. The browser may require a recent user gesture before it allows a vibration command.

Begin with short, moderate effects. Compare the heavy low-frequency motor with the lighter high-frequency motor, then try a combined preset. Keep the controller on a safe surface or hold it securely so an unexpected strong effect cannot make it fall.

Why your controller vibration or rumble is not working

Gamepad vibration depends on browser support, operating-system permissions, the connection type, and whether the controller exposes a standard dual-rumble actuator. Safari and some Bluetooth paths expose fewer features.

  • Press a controller button before starting the rumble test
  • Try USB and a current Chromium-based browser
  • Check firmware, battery level, and in-game vibration settings

PS5 DualSense adaptive trigger and haptics testing limits

The standard Gamepad API can expose trigger travel but does not provide a cross-browser command for adaptive trigger resistance. Use official PlayStation software for advanced haptics.

How to diagnose one weak or missing rumble motor

Run the heavy and light motor patterns independently and repeat the result over a wired connection. If one side remains silent in this browser but both work in a supported game, the issue is likely API compatibility. If the same motor fails everywhere, check controller settings and manufacturer support before considering a hardware repair.

Frequently asked questions

Short, practical answers to help you read this test result and decide what to do next.

Why is my controller vibration not working in the browser?

Browser vibration needs a compatible dual-rumble actuator and usually a recent button press or click before it sends an effect. It also depends on the driver, connection, firmware, and browser. Try a wired USB connection and a current Chromium-based browser such as Chrome or Edge.

Can I test PS5 DualSense adaptive triggers or HD rumble online?

Not fully. The standard Gamepad API can show L2 and R2 trigger travel and may expose a basic dual-rumble actuator, but it cannot control DualSense adaptive trigger resistance or the full advanced haptics. Use official PlayStation software to confirm those features.

How do I test if one rumble motor is broken?

Run the heavy and light motor patterns independently and repeat over a wired connection. If one side stays silent here but both work in a supported game, the cause is likely API or browser compatibility. If the same motor fails everywhere, check controller settings and contact the manufacturer before assuming hardware failure.

Does the controller vibration test work on Switch controllers?

Partially. Standard rumble may work when the browser exposes a dual-rumble actuator, but Nintendo HD rumble is device-specific and is not consistently available through the web API. Confirm HD rumble in a supported Switch game.
