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.
Raw readings & input history
Indices are shown as reported by the browser. Unknown layouts are not assigned stick or trigger names.

Connect and test your DualShock 4
Connect your DualShock 4 to the computer by USB or Bluetooth, focus this page and press a button. Use a USB cable that carries data if the controller charges but never appears.
Choose the intended controller from the device menu.
Press each button and move both sticks.
Run a resting-stick measurement if the browser provides a standard mapping.
Save a snapshot with your connection and profile noted.
Mapping and feature limits
When DS4Windows or another remapper is running, the browser may see a virtual Xbox-style controller, the physical controller or both. Select the intended device. Changing the label set does not change the underlying mapping. Touchpad gestures and motion sensors are not measured here.
A browser-reported device name may describe a virtual device instead of the controller in your hands. Get connection and mapping help →
Check a DualShock 4 with DS4Windows
Before testing, identify whether you want to inspect the physical DualShock 4 or the virtual controller generated by your profile. If both appear, press a button and choose the intended device. A virtual Xbox identity is a description of the output path.
Save a snapshot with the profile name and connection type. If you change a deadzone in DS4Windows, a second browser measurement may show the profile’s filtering rather than a physical change to the stick. Keep the underlying device and other settings consistent.
Older third-party PlayStation controllers
Check the Razer Raiju family and NACON Revolution family for model-specific PC-mode guidance. Similar PlayStation button labels do not imply identical drivers, wireless support or switch positions.
If the controller charges but never responds, try a known USB data cable and follow the connection checklist. If a touchpad gesture produces mouse movement, it may work correctly while remaining outside the gamepad button readings.
