Show HN: Made a quick tool to test controller stick sensitivities and curves

https://gamepadtuner.com
2•ridwanc•1h ago
I threw together a small web app that lets you plug in a controller and mess around with different sensitivity and curve settings inside a simple aim trainer.

Link: https://gamepadtuner.com

Loads instantly, no download, and free to use.

It actually helped me lock in the perfect sensitivity and dynamic response curve strength for Warzone, aiming suddenly felt way more natural, like the stick was finally doing what I expected.

The goal is to hit the targets as quickly and accurately as possible, without aim-assist, to build comfort and make aiming feel natural. Your score is calculated based on accuracy and speed, and you can compare your settings and results with others on the leaderboard.

If you try it and anything feels off, shout, I’m still tweaking it.
