Compatibility
PadPulse stores how each controller is reported by your browser and operating system on this device.
| Model | Browser | Platform | Mapping | Last seen |

History
Saved snapshots stay in your browser so you can compare the same controller over time.
PadPulse detects whether you arrive from desktop, mobile or a console-like browser so it can adapt density and focus targets without hiding features.
