    Xbox Controller Test on PC

    Verify the standard Xbox-style layout exposed to your PC browser, including ABXY, bumpers, triggers, stick clicks, View, Menu and D-pad.

    This browser does not expose the Gamepad API.

    Check Windows Game Controllers if no browser sees the device.

    How this test works

    1. 1Connect the Xbox controller by USB, Bluetooth or adapter.
    2. 2Press a button to make it visible to the browser.
    3. 3Check buttons 0–15, sticks and trigger travel.
    4. 4Run vibration only from a deliberate click.

    Result interpretation

    Buttons 0–15 are the standard core set. Guide, Share and vendor inputs are capability-only because Windows or the browser may reserve them.

    • The page cannot identify USB versus Bluetooth.
    • Guide/Share availability is not guaranteed.
    • Vibration support varies by browser and connection.

    Troubleshooting

    01Check Windows Game Controllers if no browser sees the device.
    02Update the browser before changing drivers.
    03Try USB to isolate Bluetooth pairing problems.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does a missing Guide button mean it is broken?

    No. The operating system commonly reserves system buttons.

    Can I test multiple Xbox controllers?

    Yes. Up to four browser-exposed controllers can be selected independently.
