Software to test pre-owned yokes & throttle?

I’m considering buying a used pair of Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttles. The seller doesn’t have a working setup of MSFS, and wants me to bring a laptop to a coffee shop to test. My MSFS is on a big desktop. Is there a simple, third-party software I can use to test the proper functioning of the hardware? I want to test the yoke and the levers are reasonably balanced, without unexpected play, etc…

The “Game controllers” app in every Windows installation. You can test all the axis and buttons.

Thanks! That’s very convenient.

For Windows
Plug in Controllers
Wait for System to install the drivers ( can look up in “Device manager”)
Once working , go yo Settings - Devices and printers - Devices
A window with Pictures of devices shows up
Click Right - game Controller properties to enter Advanced - check every Axis - Button recognized by Windows.
This will appear in MSFS 2020 as a new Controller .
