Test your hardware before you blame it — or replace it
PeriphCheck is a suite of free hardware tests that run entirely in your browser. Every peripheral that can fail quietly — a keyboard that double-types, a controller stick that drifts a few percent, a mouse whose left button bounces, a monitor hiding a stuck pixel — can be checked here in under a minute, with no download and no account. Each test reads your device through the browser's native APIs and shows you exactly what your computer is receiving, so you can tell the difference between a hardware fault, a software setting, and your imagination.
When a quick test saves real money
- Before buying or selling used gear: run the gamepad tester or keyboard tester on the spot — drift, chatter and dead keys show up in seconds, before money changes hands.
- Before a warranty claim: a documented fault (a dead pixel, a drifting stick, a double-clicking mouse) makes the support conversation short and factual.
- Before a call or stream: thirty seconds on the mic test and webcam test beats finding out on air.
- After a "fix": cleaned a switch, swapped a cable, updated a driver? Re-test and confirm it actually worked instead of hoping.
Private by architecture, not by promise
Nothing you type, say or show leaves your machine. The tests use the same browser APIs a web game would — Gamepad, Web Audio, MediaDevices — and process everything locally. There is no upload endpoint, which is why the tools also keep working offline once the page is loaded. If a result looks wrong, each tool's guide explains what is a genuine fault, what is a browser limitation, and what to try next; the blog goes deeper on the most common failures.
Frequently asked questions
› Are these tests really free?
Yes — every tool on PeriphCheck is free, with no sign-up, no download and no usage limits.
› Is my data private?
Completely. All tests run 100% in your browser using native web APIs. Audio, video and keystrokes are processed locally and never uploaded — there is no server to send them to.
› Do the tools work on mobile?
Yes. Touch, mic, webcam and screen tests are fully mobile-ready. Keyboard and gamepad tests need a physical device connected, so they are best on desktop.
› Which browsers are supported?
Any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. A few niche APIs (like controller vibration) vary by browser, and each tool explains its limitations inline.
