Consistent with the documented DirectInput mapping
Scoring covers the Windows polarity sweep and the Linux constant-force tests. A commanded direction is the direction the force comes from, so 0° should move the stick toward the tester. Scoring uses the documented mapping: 0° → Pulled back, 90° → Pulled left, 180° → Pulled forward, 270° → Pulled right. Answers that name more than one direction are counted separately and never scored.
| Commanded | Expected | Observed | Matched | Mismatched |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0° north (away) | Pulled back | Pulled back x4 | 4 | 0 |
| 90° east (right) | Pulled left | Pulled left x4 | 4 | 0 |
| 180° south (toward) | Pulled forward | Pulled forward x4 | 4 | 0 |
| 270° west (left) | Pulled right | Pulled right x4 | 4 | 0 |

Technical diagnostics are aggregated on this page so driver authors and tool builders can compare what multiple testers saw, including Windows and Linux runs for the same VID:PID. They use closed result names and path-redacted errors; the private response-notes field includes typed text and the probe-measured motion.
The per-effect responses[].notes field stays off this page. It can contain optional typed text and the probe-measured motion. Capability flags, supported effects, OS breakdown, test strength, chip labels, result codes, failed effects, and run errors can be published in aggregate or as a latest-per-platform snapshot. Read the full privacy contract →
Measured motion is what the probe saw on the stick's X and Y axes while each effect played: the signed peak movement as a percentage of the axis's half range, for example X peak +25.1%. It is measured from where the stick rested when the effect started, so it can exceed 100% when the stick rests off-centre. Condition effects such as spring and damper are not expected to move a centred stick.
