Helvetica with font-weight 300 makes the text really thin and hard to read at 100% zoom.
Looks great on mobile, fwiw
Show HN: DualShock calibration in the browser using WebHID

Re: Show HN: DualShock calibration in the browser using WebHID
#12"I noticed that many repair technicians were using my scripts to recalibrate controllers, which significantly reduced repair times and costs. However, many of them were also having a tough time setting up the environment to run the scripts: Python, libusb, Windows drivers, and all that complicated stuff: the user experience was completely off. This led me to the idea of creating a multiplatform web UI that could simp…
I am guessing the author is an alien tapped into the Strategic Galactic Good Cheer & Chill Reserve. That explains being able to provide a free utility/online service to the audience of 'gamers, when their controller is effed up'.

#13Calibration immediately errors out for my DualSense. Luckily mine doesn't actually need any calibration, I was just trying it out :)

You could acquaint yourself with the timeline of WebHID.
Google presented a "spec" that wasn't even a spec. They were asked to create a better spec. Instead they just shipped WebHID, and several months later dumped several hundred pages of specifications saying "there".
Whatever your position on hardware standards are, this is not how standards are presented.
Edit: the status of WebHID is literally "not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track." and it's current state is barely above "scratched on a napkin". But Google couldn't care less

#16Really nicely done! Can recalibration help when the controller is connected to a Playstation? Does it store the calibration somehow in the controller? Or is this only useful on a PC? I'd love to somehow restore my PS5 DualSense that's fallen victim to stick drift. I looked once in Steam's debug info and instead of the stick reading 0 at center it was reading about 20,000. Given the max is 32,767 I've lost 2/3 of the…
DS4Windows is a decent tool for the dual sense, I think they have an offset you can configure while using it on PC but it wont store to the controller itself..

I am acquainted with the process.
Did you just miss entire premise of the article, how WebHID made the lives of a bunch of working people much better? Would you rather make these people have a much more difficult time now so Firefox diehard can have a “proper” WebHID in 5 years..?

There's nothing "die hard" about wanting to create a proper standard (and being aware of the trade offs) instead of just implementing whatever Google deigns worthy of throwing up.
Now Firefox cannot even implement the "proper HID" because Google has already shipped their version

I am a Firefox diehard. Also a web dev.
As such I agree that Firefox refusing to implement things like WebSerial and WebHID is shooting themselves in the foot, and will only drive more users towards Blink.
You could have made your point in a less inflammatory way, though.
