The gamepad is considered very convenient for games, since the joystick has vibration and analog joints. But this function often has problems and needs to be checked.

They are needed only for installing drivers.
Methods for checking vibration on the PC joystick
The vibration is checked as follows:
- We launch a game that can work with a gamepad.
- We go into the options and check whether the vibration mode is turned on. We go through several levels in the game.
- In standard cases, the function appears during explosions, strikes, damage, video clips or traffic on the side of the road. But if it does not appear for half an hour, the device does not work correctly.
- We need to look for the Vibration button located on the front panel next to Mode. If you press this key, the gamepad vibrates, which indicates the operability of the device. Remember, by clicking on this button, we turn feedback on or off, and vibrations appear in both cases (lasts about 2 seconds).
- You must install the driver. They must be on the boot disk. If they are not, download from the Internet. The application should include programs with registry files and device calibration and debugging. Some devices have programs that allow you to check the calibration of the gamepad. For example, by clicking on a combination of buttons, various sounds appear along with the vibration function. If the latter are present, the device is operating normally.
- Now you need to check the compatibility of this game and the joystick. Devices are new and outdated. There are no external differences; the algorithm for their work differs. There are no problems on old games, but modern ones require new devices that can create the necessary functions. Maybe the joystick is working, but it's just out of date. Only buying a new device will help here.
If a function is missing on the joystick, the problem may concern the drivers. Try updating them. If this does not help, buy more advanced equipment.
