BLE Joystick vs Gamepad Tester

# BLE Joystick Transform your iOS Device into a professional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device controller. BLE Joystick lets you connect to and control ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico W, nRF52, robots, RC cars, IoT projects, and other BLE-enabled hardware directly from your iOS device. Designed for inventors, engineers, students, and hobbyists, the BLE Joystick features a responsive dual-joystick gamepad interface with customizable buttons and real-time Bluetooth Low Energy communication. Features: • Scans and connects to nearby BLE devices • Directional control buttons • D-Pad (transmits custom character data via normal and long-press button presses) • 4 Action Buttons (transmits custom character data via normal and long-press button presses) • Real-time BLE data transmission • Adjustable update rate • Game-style dark user interface • Haptic feedback support • Low-latency communication • Compatible with ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico W, nRF52, and other BLE devices Use Cases: • ESP32 remote control • Arduino BLE controller • Robot controller • RC car controller • Tank controller • Servo controller • IoT device controller • DIY electronics projects • Home automation control • Educational BLE experiments Why BLE JOYSTICK? Unlike traditional Bluetooth controllers, BLE Joystick is optimized for modern low-power devices and embedded systems. It provides a simple and reliable way to transmit joystick and button data from your phone to microcontrollers and custom hardware. Access Permissions Bluetooth access is required to find, connect to, and communicate with nearby BLE devices. This app does not collect personal data and does not require a user account.

Gamepad Tester is the fast, no-setup way to check that your game controller works correctly on iPhone and iPad. Connect over Bluetooth or a cable, and every button, trigger, analog stick, and d-pad direction lights up on screen in real time. Whether you are buying a used controller, hunting down stick drift, or just making sure a new gamepad is fully functional, Gamepad Tester shows you exactly what your controller is sending. WHAT YOU CAN TEST • Buttons and triggers: see every press register instantly, with live trigger pressure values. • Analog sticks: precise X and Y readouts make stick drift easy to spot. Leave the sticks centered and watch for unwanted movement. • D-pad: confirm all four directions and the diagonals. • Rumble and haptics: fire built-in vibration presets, or set the left and right motor strength and duration yourself. • Battery: see your controller's charge level when it reports one. • Controller light: change the LED color on DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers. THREE TEST MODES • Generic Gamepad: a clear, labeled layout with live values and a live input update rate readout. • Universal Gamepad: works with any controller by mapping every input to a numbered slot, ideal when a controller is not fully recognized. • Vibrate Tester: presets and manual controls for rumble and haptics. WORKS WITH • MFi-certified controllers, such as Backbone One and Razer Kishi • Xbox controllers over Bluetooth • PlayStation DualShock 4 and DualSense Controllers that iOS does not recognize natively may not appear, even if they work on other platforms. NO SETUP, NO ACCOUNT Just connect a controller and start testing. There is no sign-in and no configuration, and your controller input is processed on your device. A built-in User Guide covers pairing, supported controllers, battery, stick drift, vibration, and troubleshooting. Gamepad Tester is free and supported by ads.
