Controllers fail quietly: sticks drift, triggers bottom out, presses never register. One guided test reads the raw input Android reports — buttons, sticks, triggers, drift, dead zone, circularity, polling rate, jitter, rumble — and scores the pad. Check a used pad before you buy. Confirm a new one before the return window closes. No PC, no dongle, no browser. Free with ads. Pro is a one-time unlock: advanced stick analysis, CSV export, health trends, saved vibration patterns.

Could you build this?
Yes Android provides standard Game Controller and MotionEvent APIs that directly expose raw stick coordinates, button presses, latency, and rumble features, which can be implemented in a simple native or Flutter/React Native wrapper.
