How long does the test take? #1

I rotated the left analog stick for approximately 15 minutes and the program still doesn't finish the test to provide the results.

Polling Rate Tster shows only the polling rate of the gamepad, if you need more data, there is a separate program for this https://github.com/cakama3a/Gamepadla/releases/tag/Gamepadla

You're right, I was using the wrong program, I'm sorry. About Gamepadla, one thing I noticed when running the source code (from Releases page) on Linux is that it doesn't ask for the amount of data for the test (it always uses 1984). Are you sure the source code is up to date in the same way as Gamepadla.1.0.9.exe? Comparing the results between Windows and Linux I noticed that on the cable the results are very close (500Hz polling rate) but on the dongle (which for the system is seen in the same way as wired, both report ID 045e:028e "Xbox 360 Controller") the polling rate is much lower (it drops from 500Hz on Windows to ~160Hz on Linux) and consequently the latency is higher. Do you have any idea why there is a difference in the two systems? And another question I have, is there any difference in the result depending on the speed at which the stick is rotated or is it ok to rotate it slowly (like 120RPM)?
