From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?

I recall someone who build some automated system to measure input latency on gamepads, who gathered data for a bunch over different interfaces, which is a subset of that. They had some sort of automated testing system, moved the controls automatically with a microcontroller-driven system.

Neither of them are what I'm remembering, but it looks like multiple people have built input latency databases.

https://gamepadla.com/

The second looks close to what you might want. Each controller has a page with a fair amount of information.

EDIT: I don't think that this is what I was thinking of either, but looks like another microcontroller-based system to measure input latency:

EDIT2: Also not what I was thinking of, but yet another input latency measurement project:

EDIT3: Also not what I was thinking of, but another:

That's some good data! I'm mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!
