PS4 controller tester

The tester uses the DualShock 4 button layout and labels. Press Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle, L1, R1, L2 or R2 to see whether the browser reports each input. It also checks SHARE, OPTIONS, the PS button and the directional buttons.

Move each stick to check its direction, then press it to check L3 or R3. The tester can also check vibration because this controller has vibration motors. Seeing a response means the browser is reporting that input; it does not tell you whether every game will handle the controller the same way.

A button that changes state when pressed is being reported by the browser. If it stays inactive, the browser has not reported that press. A stick reading follows the stick's movement, and an L2 or R2 reading shows the trigger input the browser reports.

The test uses browser button mapping, so the labels shown describe how the browser maps the controller. The touch pad has a button, but the browser does not report that button here. The controller also has a light bar and motion sensors, but this test does not show readings for them. A missing reading means this page cannot see that input, not that the related part is broken.

If a button or stick does not respond, first check that the controller is connected by USB or Bluetooth and that the page can see it. Press the control again and watch whether its reading changes. If only one input is missing, the issue may be with that control or with how the browser reports it.

If the controller does not connect or its inputs remain unavailable, the page links to a controller connection fix guide. Use that guide for next steps. A test result alone cannot confirm whether a used controller is in good condition.

Try every listed button, both sticks, and both triggers. Check SHARE and OPTIONS as well as the PS button, since those labels can help you confirm the layout is being reported as expected. Test vibration if the page offers that check.

The touch pad button is not reported, so this page cannot confirm that it works. It also does not show the light bar or motion sensor readings. Treat those as unverified by this test and check them separately if they matter to you.
