Privacy and browser limits
Most readings come directly from browser APIs and stay on your device. Operating systems, browser permissions, scaling, drivers, and hardware can affect what a page can observe.
For the cleanest result, use an up-to-date browser, keep the tab visible, and close apps that may already be using the device.
Questions about the gamepad tester
Is my test data uploaded?
No. This test runs locally in your browser. RatedTechTools does not receive or store the device data shown by the tool.
Does it support Xbox and PlayStation controllers?
Modern standard-mapped controllers generally work. Labels are inferred from the reported ID and may vary.
Why is vibration unavailable?
The browser, operating system, connection type, and controller must all expose a vibration actuator.
