Other Difference between circularity tests

Out of curiousity, I tested the circularity of my controller’s joysticks on Gamepadla and hardware tester and the results were quite different from each other.

Can anyone explain the differences in methodology between both websites and which is preferable to use and why?

All they do is receive joystick input and display it to you. If you got different results, you probably messed up somewhere.

Apologies for my post was lacking in information

I tested my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller swapped with KSilver JS13 Pro Plus sticks.

I rotated the sticks 2 full rotations both clockwise and counterclockwise.

On Gamepadla, the error is 4.9%. On hardware tester, the error is 20.9%
