FAQs
How do I test controller vibration online? +
Open the vibration test in a browser that supports gamepad haptics, connect the controller, press a button, and send a short pulse.
Why does vibration work in games but not in the browser? +
Browser haptics support varies by browser, controller, connection type, and operating system. That does not automatically mean the motor is broken.
Should I replace a controller when vibration fails? +
Only after USB, browser support, game settings, and another device all show the same failure. A data cable or setting is often cheaper to fix.
Run the source test.
Use the matching live tester first, then return to the model page only if the fault repeats.
