Your Check At A Glance
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
Range, Centring & Trigger Travel
Use the same connection, firmware and profile when repeating a check. These measurements describe browser input and do not assign a hardware health score.
Choose a guided measurement.
Trigger Travel · Last 6 Seconds
Slowly squeeze and release each trigger. A digital or instant-trigger mode can jump directly between endpoints.
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.
Raw readings & input history
Indices are shown as reported by the browser. Unknown layouts are not assigned stick or trigger names.

Elite Series 2 And Core Setup
Elite Series 2 and Core use the same family of configurable controls, while package contents differ. Test the paddles and accessories fitted to your controller.
Xbox Accessories Profile
Record the active profile and any assignments before testing. Check a normal button and its assigned paddle separately. Seeing the same browser index can confirm the mapping, not a missing independent input.
Trigger Stops
Choose and record the stop position. Press and release each trigger slowly and inspect the exposed range. Compare again only after naming the changed setting.
Sticks And Tension
Use the same physical setup and profile for each resting and range test. Move and release from several directions, leave the controller still and repeat. Keep the reported browser identity in the report even if you selected an Elite model reference.
A Useful Arrival Check
- Confirm every accessible button produces its intended action.
- Test the installed paddles against their assignments.
- Check both triggers and stick movement.
- Save a named baseline with the connection and profile.
Sources And Further Help
Separate Configuration From A Physical Symptom
If a paddle highlights the wrong action, compare its assignment in the active Xbox Accessories profile before changing hardware. If unwanted stick movement occurs only in one game, record that game’s sensitivity and deadzone separately. The tester sees the values supplied to the browser, which can already include driver or profile processing.
Repeat An Arrival Test Later
Keep your original snapshot. Recreate its connection, profile, accessories and physical settings, then repeat each control in the same order. The comparison highlights differences and reports resting-offset changes in percentage points; it does not assign a pass/fail score. Describe any practical symptom alongside the numbers.
Why Does Core Not Show More Buttons?
The package name does not tell the browser which accessories are installed. A paddle that repeats a standard control can produce the same index as that control. Test the actual assignment and leave absent or untested controls clearly identified in your notes.
