Understand the result
PASS describes a received signal or your recorded observation. WARNING calls for another check. USER REVIEW REQUIRED means a measurement alone cannot decide. An unavailable API or denied permission does not establish hardware failure.
What this cannot tell you
Browsers usually cannot distinguish a mouse from a touchpad. OS gestures may never reach the page.
If something seems wrong
Check touchpad settings and gestures in your OS, clean the surface and repeat.

Does a pass guarantee my hardware is healthy?
No. It records behavior observed in this browser session. Intermittent faults, internal components and operating-system restrictions need further investigation. See our methodology.
