How to run this test
- Connect the joystick, throttle and pedals.
- Move every axis to both ends, one at a time.
- Press each button and hat direction.
- Write down the axis and button numbers you want to bind.
How to read the result
- Axes
- Each row is one axis with its index and raw value. A healthy axis reaches close to −1 and +1 and settles at the same value when released.
- Hat switch
- Some sticks report the hat as four buttons, others as a single axis with fixed steps. Both are normal; the raw list shows which yours uses.
Questions about this test
- The browser shows fewer axes than my stick has.
- Browsers expose the axes the operating system reports. Some devices need vendor software to unlock extra axes or combine several devices into one.
- Why is my throttle reversed?
- Throttles often report full forward as −1. Most simulators let you invert an axis when binding it.
