Step by step
- Connect your controller by USB or Bluetooth and press any button so the browser detects it.
- Press each button one by one to see it light up and add to the buttons tested counter.
- Pull each trigger slowly and check that its value moves smoothly from 0% to 100%.
- Move both sticks, then open the raw controller data table if your controller uses non-standard mapping.
