Your controller feels off. DriftPad tells you whether it really is broken — and gives you a dated report that proves it. Most controller testers just light up a button when you press it. DriftPad answers the question you actually opened the app for: is this controller healthy, and can I prove it — to a buyer, a seller, or a warranty desk? WHAT YOU GET • A clear verdict — Healthy, Needs attention, or Failing — instead of a wall of raw numbers • Stick drift measured beyond the dead zone that iOS applies before any app can see your stick • A dated evidence report, as a PDF or an image, that you can send to a buyer, a marketplace, or a support ticket • A test built from what YOUR controller reports — so even models released after this app work, with no update WHY THE REPORT MATTERS Selling a controller? Attach proof it works. Buying used? Ask the seller for it. Sent one back for repair? Compare before and after. Marketplaces ask for evidence of condition — but stick drift is behavior over time, and a photo can't capture it. DriftPad produces the document instead. WHAT IT TESTS • Buttons, D-Pad, thumbsticks, triggers, bumpers and system buttons — live, with a coverage counter so every input is proven, not just the first one you press • Stick drift beyond the system dead zone, with a plain-language verdict • Stick health: return-to-center (snapback), range, circularity and axis resolution • Trigger travel and trigger dead zone • Button mash, turbo and chatter detection • Vibration, haptics, adaptive triggers, LED light bar, motion sensors, battery and touchpad — where iOS exposes them, with DriftPad telling you exactly which your controller supports and which it doesn't • History and trends — compare any run against a saved baseline • An aim trainer for reaction and accuracy WORKS WITH ANY CONTROLLER iOS RECOGNIZES DriftPad builds each test from the inputs your controller reports at runtime — not from a hand-drawn picture of one model. So it keeps working with controllers released after this app shipped, no update required. Xbox Wireless (Series X|S, One) · DualSense · DualSense Edge · DualShock 4 · MFi controllers · arcade sticks, and more. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS iOS applies its own dead zone to every stick before the values reach any app. Drift smaller than that floor is invisible to every app on the platform — including this one. So rather than pretend otherwise, DriftPad shows you where the floor sits and measures the drift that crosses it. It also tells you which features your specific controller exposes under iOS, so you never blame the app for a limit that belongs to the platform. DRIFTPAD PREMIUM The core tester is free. Premium adds the parts that prove it and go deeper: • Exportable evidence reports (PDF and image) • Advanced stick tests — snapback, range, circularity, axis resolution, trigger travel, event rate • Full history, trends and baseline comparison • Side-by-side comparison of two controllers Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
