Simple application that enables you to test your digital or analog controllers in order to determine whether they are functioning correctly

Joystick Tester is a handy application which allows you to check if your joystick is working according to its parameters. The program is designed to automatically detect the controller connected to the computer in order to provide information about its status.

You can use this tool if you find that the Windows Control Panel does not provide you with all the information about your device. Joystick Tester does not bring spectacular changes to the available data, but it provides some additional items. Its main goal is to check if your device is working correctly.

Basically, the main window of the application displays the same data that is reorganized in a slightly different layout. You can view the button led lights and the point of vision gauge that allow you to detect the ones that are malfunctioning when you use them.

The program can display the response for up to ten buttons and the point of view display allows you to view the stick trajectory. The right side panel displays the extra items such as the hardware capabilities and the range of a certain controller expressed numerically.

The numerical values allow you to estimate the sensitivity of a certain button and to view if the entire range of motion is available to the user. Knowing the numbers behind the gauges that describe the button’s actions can be used for comparing the controller performance.

Although it does not display very different controller details, the Joystick Tester app still allows you to check the functions of both analog and digital USB devices. It is easy to use and provides all the information in a single interface without requiring any configuration.

You should use this program when trying out a new game controller or checking the functionality of an older joystick.

Read the full changelog

If you have the feeling that your controller may not be working as it should, you may need to run a few tests in order to ensure everything is in order. As its name suggests, Game Controller Tester is an application designed for this very purpose.

The app allows you to test all your device’s buttons, analog controls and vibration motors. It offers several interesting features, but it sports a very outdated UI.

Easily tell if any of the controls on your gamepad are faulty

First-time users should get accustomed to this application quickly enough, though its layout is a bit unusual. Keep in mind that the program only begins registering gamepad input once you have entered test mode.

Any button you press is highlighted on the in-app controller model, in addition to trigger and thumb sticks movement. You can even see how big the deadzone is when using the thumb sticks.

Manage multiple devices and test your gamepad’s vibration motors

Game Controller Tester allows you to switch between up to four devices, though it is unclear if any models aside from the Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamepads are supported. If the controllers are battery-powered, the app even displays their current charge level.

Benchmarking the vibration motors is as simple as can be, as you can press the triggers to increase the vibration speed, and the app enables you to switch between the grip and trigger motors.

On the whole, Game Controller Tester is a useful app that provides you with all the tools you need to benchmark your gamepads and ensure nothing is amiss, but it doesn't impress from a visual standpoint. Still, it is functional, and it can be customized extensively.
