Troubleshooting
If the result is not what you expected
Interact once
Press a controller button so the browser is allowed to expose the device.
Reconnect directly
Reconnect the controller or touch device and avoid an unreliable hub.
Check the mapping
Unknown mappings can move controls to different raw button or axis indices.
Method
How it works
- Connect and expose a gamepad with a direct button press.
- Choose capped intensity and duration values, then trigger a short effect.
- Stop immediately or confirm whether you felt the vibration.
Browser limitations
What this result cannot prove
- Many browsers and controller drivers do not expose haptics even when hardware supports it.
- An unavailable actuator is a browser result, not proof of a hardware fault.
