Use gyro (IMU) to validate touchpad rumble in the controller test
"Press A when touch pad vibrates" seems like a weird way to test things. Specially considering some people feel their haptics might not be as strong as it should be.

Maybe it might not be possible to get a perfect reading due to various factors, even if the system asks the user to perform the test with the device placed on a table or some other steady solid surface, but I imagine some useful data could still be obtained. And perhaps better data could be obtained by analyzing the vibration intensity at different levels of pressure on the respective touchpad, and maybe even with the finger placed at different areas of the touchpad as well. And perhaps even also analyzing the spectrum of the raw audio picked by the mic, filtering for the frequencies and reverbs that would be associated with the haptics?

Oh, and perhaps also test a frequency sweep instead of just a fixed clicking pattern?
