PS5 Vibration Test

Check whether DualSense rumble is exposed to your browser and send test pulses.

Haptic detail beyond dual-rumble is outside the standard Gamepad API.

DualSense rumble through limited browser actuators

PS5 Vibration Test attempts dual-rumble pulses on DualSense when the browser exposes a vibration actuator. Expect the familiar left and right motor feel in successful Chromium USB sessions, not the rich HD haptic textures from PS5 titles. If native PC games rumble but this tab stays silent, prioritize API support over motor failure. Confirm the pad is detected via PS5 Controller Tester first.

Adaptive triggers are unrelated to this rumble check. Trigger resistance never appears through standard Gamepad vibration calls. Bluetooth DualSense links sometimes omit actuators entirely even when USB works, which is a platform quirk rather than a DualSense defect.

What success and failure mean

  • Success: short pulses you can feel in both hands.
  • Partial: only one side buzzes, suggesting a mechanical or wiring issue.
  • Silent with actuator missing: browser or transport limit; retest USB Chromium.

Compare with the generic Vibration page and Xbox counterpart at Xbox Vibration Test. Detection trouble belongs on Controller Detection.

FAQ: can I preview adaptive trigger effects here?

No. Adaptive trigger effects require privileged DualSense APIs far beyond Gamepad vibration. This page only exercises basic rumble when available.
