Use the same connection, firmware and profile when repeating a check. These measurements describe browser input and do not assign a hardware health score.

Trigger Travel · Last 6 Seconds
Slowly squeeze and release each trigger. A digital or instant-trigger mode can jump directly between endpoints.
— Left trigger– – Right trigger
Observed Press / Release Counts
↓ Presses · ↑ Releases. Counts start at observed state transitions; a control already held when sampling begins has no recorded press. Brief events between browser samples can be missed.
How to read these measurements
The guided sweep records the greatest radius in each of 32 direction sectors. A direction counts as covered at radius 0.75. Outline deviation is the mean absolute difference from radius 1, shown only after all directions are covered. An intended square response can have higher deviation.
Centring records four releases per stick: left, right, up and down. After input returns below radius 0.5, it settles for 0.4 seconds and averages the following 0.4 seconds, with at least five samples. Position spread is the greatest distance from the average of those four positions. Filtering can affect all results. This is not a latency or hardware polling-rate test.

Resting-Stick Measurement
This describes the input exposed by your browser. Firmware and remapping software can already apply deadzones. These readings do not certify hardware condition.

Connect Your Flydigi Controller
Choose the connection and PC input mode documented for the exact Vader, APEX or Direwolf model. A USB receiver and Bluetooth pairing can expose different capabilities.
These PC-oriented references are not a promise of Xbox or PlayStation console compatibility. Verify the intended platform separately before purchasing or using an adapter.
Confirm the controller’s platform mode and supported connection. Use a USB data cable or the receiver specified for that exact model.
Focus this page, press a face button and choose the responding device from the connected-controller menu.
Press and release each control. Check raw indices if the device has no standard mapping.
Record your connection, software profile and trigger-stop setting before saving a snapshot.

Setup / interpretation
Vader 5 Pro
USB / Receiver
Record trigger mode, PC connection and software profile. Browser timing cannot verify a polling-rate claim. Manufacturer guidance
Vader 4 Pro
USB / Receiver
Follow the exact model’s PC-mode instructions and keep trigger/response settings consistent. Manufacturer guidance
APEX 5
USB / Receiver
Check its supported computer connection and profile; do not infer Xbox/PlayStation support from a browser reading. Manufacturer guidance
Direwolf 3
USB / Receiver
Record the input mode and connection, then check direct button and rear assignments separately. Manufacturer guidance
Connections vary by edition and operating system. This table records setup guidance, not a physically verified browser result.

Before You Test
Record trigger mode, PC connection and software profile. Browser timing cannot verify a polling-rate claim.
Record the mode switch and Space Station profile. Keep physical tension and trigger settings consistent between measurements.
What To Check Here
Press each face button and direction once. Use the raw input list if the browser has no standard mapping.
Move the sticks around their range, release them and run the resting-stick test. Save the active profile alongside the results.
Squeeze and release both triggers. A short-travel or digital mode can change the values you observe.
Rear buttons can repeat existing inputs. Browser rumble does not test motion sensors, audio or adaptive-trigger resistance.

Vader 4 Pro has a physical stick-force adjustment and several platform modes. Note the tension setting and software profile before comparing stick movement.

Vader-family trigger modes and software settings can change travel and reported response. Note the mode before expecting a gradual trigger sweep.
Extra controls can be assigned to an existing gamepad action or another input type. Check what the assignment is meant to send before interpreting a missing independent gamepad button.
Record firmware, configuration software profile, connection and any stick-response settings in your setup note. A different response curve can change the trace without identifying a damaged component.
Turn A Reading Into A Useful Comparison
Check one variable at a time. For unwanted stick movement, release the sticks onto a stable surface and run the ten-second resting test. For a missing action, compare a direct button press with its rear-button assignment. Save a note identifying the active profile so a later result can be reproduced.
The browser-reported device name can describe a virtual gamepad. The optional model reference is your selection, not automatic hardware identification. Brand listing does not guarantee vibration, independent paddles or vendor-specific controls in your browser.
Does a browser result verify the advertised polling rate?
No. Browser sampling and screen updates cannot establish hardware polling rate or end-to-end latency.
Why do trigger settings change the result?
Trigger modes and response profiles can alter travel and values. Record them before comparing, and test direct controls separately from rear assignments.
