Confidence

The site presents a functional web-based GUI for calibrating DualShock 4, DualSense, and related controllers using the WebHID API. Our analysis shows no malware detections, no phishing or scam-family matches, and the page contains clear disclaimers about its limitations. The evidence package found zero scam reports or complaints alongside three positive mentions on Reddit and ResetEra where users discuss successful recalibration after hardware repairs. Although the domain registration shows as recent and the hosting IP carries a moderate abuse score, the project is openly hosted on GitHub with an established repo, forks, and documented updates. These factors together indicate a genuine community tool rather than any fraudulent operation.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a working calibration interface for PlayStation controllers with options for stick centering, range calibration, and debug tools. It includes explicit warnings that it cannot repair mechanical stick drift and requires a desktop browser with WebHID support.

Infrastructure

Hosted on GitHub Pages with valid Let's Encrypt SSL. The IP shows moderate abuse history but no current blocklist hits. External resources load only from paypal.me, github.com, and googletagmanager.com.

Domain History

WHOIS reports a very recent registration age, yet the project maintains an active GitHub repository with branches, issues, and community forks. No business registration exists because it is an open-source project, not a commercial entity.

Web Reputation

Zero scam or complaint reports found. Three independent positive discussions appear on Reddit (r/PS5, r/playstation) and ResetEra confirming real-world use for controller calibration.

Risk Factors

Domain registration listed as only 0 days old
Hosting IP carries 20 abuse reports and a 35/100 reputation score

Positive Signals

Zero detections from browser blocklist feeds
Three positive user reports on Reddit and ResetEra
Functional open-source tool with clear disclaimers and active GitHub repository
No login forms, payment requests, or data-harvesting elements present

AI Recommendation

The site appears safe for calibrating supported controllers. As with any open-source tool, review the GitHub repository before use and avoid entering unrelated personal information.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on dualshock-tools.github.io and not a lookalike like d-ualshock-tools.github.io.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
