How to use this test
The controller vibration test fires the rumble motors of a connected controller so you can tell whether each one still works. You can trigger the strong motor, the weak motor or both, and set the strength and how long the pulse lasts.
Connect the controller and press a button on it, then press Start. Choose a strength and a duration, then press Strong motor, Weak motor or Both motors and feel for the rumble. Try a cable if Bluetooth gives no response.
What the results mean
Feeling both motors means the hardware is fine and any missing rumble in a game is a setting. Feeling one motor but not the other points to a failed motor on that side. Feeling nothing at all is usually the browser: vibration is only exposed in Chrome and Edge, and some controllers don't support it over Bluetooth.
Common questions
Nothing happens when I press the buttons.
Check the status line. If it says vibration isn't exposed, switch to Chrome or Edge and connect by cable. If it says the request completed and you felt nothing, the motors themselves are the likely fault.
What is the difference between the strong and weak motors?
Most controllers have a larger motor in the left grip that gives a low, heavy rumble and a smaller one in the right grip that gives a lighter buzz. Games mix the two.
Does this work with a PS5 or Switch controller?
DualSense works in Chrome and Edge, with standard rumble rather than the haptic effects of the PS5. Switch Pro controllers rarely expose vibration to browsers.
