DriftPad: Gamepad Tester

Your controller feels off. DriftPad tells you whether it really is broken — and gives you a dated report that proves it.

Free, with every feature included — no ads, no subscriptions, no account.

Most controller testers just light up a button when you press it. DriftPad answers the question you actually opened the app for: is this controller healthy, and can I prove it — to a buyer, a seller, or a warranty desk?

WHAT YOU GET
• A clear verdict — Healthy, Needs attention, or Failing — instead of a wall of raw numbers
• Stick drift measured from raw stick values and judged against the dead zone games apply, so you know whether games will feel it
• A dated evidence report, as a PDF or an image, that you can send to a buyer, a marketplace, or a support ticket
• A test built from what YOUR controller reports — so models nobody drew still work

WHY THE REPORT MATTERS
Selling a controller? Attach proof it works. Buying used? Ask the seller for it. Sent one back for repair? Compare before and after. Marketplaces ask for evidence of condition — but stick drift is behavior over time, and a photo can't capture it. DriftPad produces the document instead.

WHAT IT TESTS
• Buttons, D-Pad, thumbsticks, triggers, bumpers and system buttons — live, with a coverage counter so every input is proven, not just the first one you press
• Stick drift with a plain-language verdict, from a resting pass and a rim sweep
• Stick health: return-to-center (snapback), range, circularity and axis resolution
• Trigger travel and trigger dead band
• Event rate and jitter, counted from each event's own timestamp
• Button mash, turbo and chatter detection
• Vibration motors, light bar, motion sensors, battery and touchpad — where Android exposes them, with DriftPad telling you exactly which your controller supports and which it doesn't
• History and trends — compare any run against a saved baseline, or two controllers side by side
• An aim trainer for reaction and accuracy

WORKS WITH BLUETOOTH AND USB GAMEPADS
DriftPad builds each test from the inputs your controller reports — not from a hand-drawn picture of one model.

HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS
Games usually ignore stick movement inside a small dead zone, so early drift goes unnoticed — until it doesn't. DriftPad reads the raw values underneath and shows you where that dead zone sits, so you can catch drift while it is still small. It also tells you which features your specific controller exposes to Android, so you never blame the app for a limit that belongs to the hardware.
