Which controllers work on which consoles
Working on this website and working on a console are different questions.
What to check first
Test the pad from a computer browser. Console browsers are a weak Gamepad API host. A DualShock 4 runs many PS5 games and is not an Xbox pad. A Switch Pro is native on Switch and quirkier on PC. Adapters create a virtual pad: retest after you enable one, because you may be measuring the adapter. The library lists the native case for each model we document.
- PS5 pad on Xbox: not native.
- Xbox pad on PlayStation: not native.
- PC browsers see whatever the OS exposes.
Confirm the reading on the live tester before you buy parts or change firmware. The number on that page is what your browser actually receives.
A practical next step
Repeat the same test after each change and write the resting radius down. A fix that does not move that number did not fix the sensor. If the offset stays above about 0.12 with your hands off the sticks, plan a module replacement rather than another software pass. Model notes live in the controller library.
Frequently asked questions
Does this page change my controller?
No. GamepadTesters only reads the Gamepad API in your browser. Calibration writes, firmware updates, and stick swaps happen in the maker’s tool or at a repair bench.
