cant believe this actually helped. steam calibration solved my problem with a brand new controller. thx

I have got to say; your videos are so informative and professionally done. Hats off to you sir. You have extensive knowledge and the way you structure your videos is excellent. I learned a lot from this and will definitely be doing this with all my future controllers. You earned yourself a follow well deserved. Keep up the great work!

this is the best video about stickdrift and hotfixes that i've come across..you've earned yourself a new sub

Your channel should be so much bigger. The detail and effort put into your videos is top notch. Thank you for the content and keep up the good work

Wow thanks dude 🙌 ive never seen anywhere else showing any of these methods.

What would be fantastic is a deadzone offset option, so you can setup a new "center" position to account for the stick drift

Come see me to learn everything you need to know about max circularity as well as deadspot size & position I've done painfully detailed studies, seemingly uniquely anal to KZread 😂🤣😭 trust me I know everything there is worth knowing & that's the truth 👈🏻😁👉🏻 down 👎🏻 up 👍🏻 a bit 🤤🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫶🏻🙌🏻🎮🤗🤌🏻🤏🏻👌🏻 🏆 👀👁️👁️ mad control 🎚️🎛️ of stick 🏒🕹️ drift 🎯, is that what you want that's what I got in 🪣 loads lol. The best fix is individual assessment of each axis. I've fitted 50, 100 & 200K resistance trim pots in the same pad 🎮 to get best results balanced ⚖️ across the whole response curve range with about a 10% Avg error overshoot of max circularity for 100% digital stick report guaranteeing with recenter wiggle 🐛 room. I've also fitted 1m, 500 & 200K resistance trim pots on factory soldered boards as well for worn sides & wiper contacts but it's sometimes best to just replace the sides with higher rated resistance 10.24K (say) potentiometer sides then dial them back in with 50K max trim pots soldered in parallel at most aggressive used thus far to shrink the whole response curve range circularity & deadspot 🎯. As long as the mechanical core pot is in good condition you are golden 🥇🪙. DS4 studies dead spot size. .09804 is 💩🤬. .09020 Absolute MAX! 👀🤏🏻😡 9% ish dependent on game or program it doesn't always translate? .06667 👀 is a mid ideal sweet spot for peace of mind calibration results 🧘🏼‍♂️ the number just works I didn't pick it 🤷🏼‍♂️. .04314 Is a fabulous result rule of thumb 👍🏻🎮👍🏻 🤩. .00392 Absolute best resting centre position but not at the expense of outer circularity max 100% reach!!!

Will be great to see this as a built in technology. So when you buying a controller and get a stick drift you can just take a screwdriver and calibrate the axis.

@@gopuravichandran4124 oh I know where it is. I was just saying that I didn't know this is existed before that point.

I had an issue but didn't know what it was called but this video actually helped me figure it out. I have a circularity issue. My Left Stick is having issues with forward/right, so my characters can't run/jog in that direction, they always walk.

Hey, thanks for mentioning reWASD, and for an amazing Sticks 101 tutorial! Can't wait for the video about reWASD, I bet it will be awesome. A little clarification: in Virtual controller settings, Deflection (and other parameters) only work for mouse moves and digital buttons (when a Virtual controller stick input is mapped to mouse move or a digital key), when you Apply the config. So this does not change the physical controller behavior. Moreover, you don't have any virtual controller mappings in your config, so Flydigi will just be Flydigi :) Also, about the zones in Advanced stick settings: the grey zone is indeed the deadzone, and if you don't add mouse/keyboard/controller mappings to your gamepad and just want to increase the deadzone - modify the zone and click Affect gamepad behavior for games. Colored zones (green, yellow, red) don't have any effect on your gamepad, unless you add mappings to them. So they are initially made to add some action and execute it when the stick reaches a certain zone and/or direction.

I will say reWASD was a massive help, so thanks for mentioning that. I did have an issue installing it though until running it as administrator, so off chance anyone else comes here to ask about that try an admin run

thanks for this, you just saved me a solder job, subscribed and liked

Wow, thank you!

At 14:10 you mention that you can calibrate your controller through settings for accessories. Does this apply to ps5 because I cant find anything about controller stick calibration

I had a problem with stick drift. I found this video. I saw the amount of controllers on the back wall and thought, "This guy.... just might know what he's talking about". And indeed I did learn some things I never knew. Like that there was a built in calibration tool right in windows. It seems to have done the trick at least for now. But like what was said in the video wear and tear are going to be a thing over time so, I imagine this issue will raise its' ugly head again on the same controller in time.

Very helpful, thank you!

Hey Gamer Heaven, I just bought a third party controller which has stick drift when i connect it to the pc and no stick drift when i connect it to my switch. do you know how can i solve this ??

Lifesaver! windows calibration fixed it :) cheers!

Amazing dude i fixed it and what i did i deadzone of 85% and my drift is gone i fixed it so easy, and now i’m a pro gamer lets gooooooo

SO glad steam has this feature, thanks!

Thanks for the video, very helpful, very informative :D Do you have a particular controller that you consider to be the best option for PC that will also minimize the stick drift problem? Most of the time in my experience third party controllers tend to not work out too well for me but there might be good ones out there that I don't know about

La opcion de steam me salvo. Muchas gracias compañero!

Thank you very much sir 💯

Just as a heads-up for using DS4 Windows. @12:03 You said you'd wished you could see a visual representation of your thumbstick/trigger changes and there isnt one. Thats untrue and you can, Brother! If you kindly look on the Left side of the program where an outline of the controller is shown, there is three TABS, You were on Controller but if you clock on the |CONTROLLER READINGS| Tab, you will get to see everything in detail with the joysticks and triggers which is great. I use this a lot to change my Trigger Curve since Linear is terrible for my use cases, and the have a more aggressively progressive curve. Especially for playing racing Titles. It allows alot more control for Brake and throttle inputs which are essential to get the most out of controlling your cars behavior. I.E

Thank you so much for this brother

I have a controller that even with an increased deadzone, it will randomly (very slowly) read that it is getting pushed more and more and more Up. Like -perfectly- up. The analog itself still feels snappy, and the controller is fairly new. If I touch it, it resets and is fine for a while until it starts to once again slowly creep up the UP reading until it's full blown reading UP. It eventually exceeds the dead zone, no matter how big it is. Any clue on how to fix this?

What sucks now is that you don't have automatic calibration anymore on steam.... Calibration is still there in big picture mode, but it has to be done manually now.

Thanks for the video.

I like your videos on controllers alot, I'm ususally on the road to find the best dpad for classic games like oldschool castlevania and megaman. Will you ever have a video or make a spreadsheet on what controllers can be overclocked and low latency? Also you might want to take a look at the KingKong 2 pro controller, I really like mine aside from the bluetooth disconnects that I get for some reason. $90 is steep but I enjoy it more than the Xbox or the dualsense.

in the game pad tester , my left joystick does not touch the upper y axis. it is just a little bit down from touch the y axis circle . what do i do with that ? also in the wireless controller properties my x and y rotation is 0 % when i am calibrating it .

I use it and it Changed all my keybinds and settings on all my games

that is a lot of controllers on the wall. I like it

Thanks for the video. Nice to see another flydigi user. Just a quick question, did you manage to make that apex 2 works with xbox series?

thanks bro nice video👍

I dont know what my controller has bc its not doing usual stickdrift things but if i pull my stick all the way to the left it doesnt affect anything but any other directon also im using the thrustmaster eswap pro

Stick centering and Stick drift are both cused by the same thing but cans also be in extreme cases completly differnt

Yo, i ordered kontrol freeks and stick drift is history. U mentioned as I write this 😀

Is there another controller brand where you can exchange the complete thumb stick?

hello, i really need help. i buyed a gpd win 4 in july. everything was perfect till now. my left jostick : when i press up it goes to the right, when i press right it goes up, when i press down it goes to the left and if i press left it goes down. i tried everything (resete gpd, reinstall windows, big picture, rewasd, etc...) but it can't change.... can you help me with this please if you have an idea ?

I bought a dualsense ps5 controller, and when I went to the Gamepad Tester website, I noticed that the ball in the center of the circles was sometimes not stable, it went from 0.00392 to 0.01192 without me moving, the command is new, it's normal for this to happen ? And when I moved the analogs the numbers stopped. it's just sometimes. And Avg Error is at 8%. Compliments

I need help. In any fps game, my xbox one controller cannot aim properly in diagonal directions. Its like doing a 360 motion with the right abolog stick is choppy as hell and if only move up left down or right, camers movement is smooth as butter. I tested this is on crysis 2, battlefield 3-5, cod vangaurd, warzone, cold war, sniper ghost warrior 3, 7 days to die, GTA 5..... So literally every game I play and have. On 360 wired controller this issue is nowhere to be found in any of the ganes mentioned. PLEASE at least tell me im not alone?

is there anyway to fix right joystick flickering? for some reason when i started playing today my right joystick started flickering around when i moved and im not sure why this is happening, the controller isnt old, i have thrown it or smashed it.

my actual windows settings are not letting me calibrate correctly, its not registering my z axis (triggers) and instead registers them on my x and y axis. while my joysticks do nothing on those axis'. overall it will not let me calibrate.

@Gamer Heaven I've seen some controller modding companies offer magnetic faceplates instead of ones that clip on and have to be pried off. How difficult would it be to take some random Extremerate faceplate, clip the tabs, and glue some magnets onto it? Seems simple, right? Is there any reason I shouldn't do this?

Ok well with math you can actually see how much it would cost lest say Sony sell 1 controller for 20$ (ik cheap just for making it simple) now lest say the magnetic faceplate cost 5$ now lest say they sell 1,000 of does controller in total it cost around 5,000$ for just does alone now imagine them selling 20mill copy of console and the first half was stander and the second half was the magnetic faceplate....... Jesus Christ

I replaced my right analog but the deadzone is still big when i check in game settings like Fortnite and Call of duty, could the new joystick be faulty idk no one has answered this

How would one fix a controllers joystick if it has BEYOND throw. Like say the controller gets to 1.0000 at just 75% of the stick throw and the rest of 25% of joystick movement is just dead air. How to adjust the endbound point to reduce the throw down so when you throw the stick up it'll do 1.0000 when you hit the controllers wall. Vs still having lots of room still.

This guy is the reason I cant get a controller for several weeks on amazon lol. Everything is out of stock.

Hi, I have a question, I have a normal Xbox controller. It is impossible to change sensitivity settings and turn off dead zones on the console. Is it possible to connect the controllers to the computer and do this and use the same settings on the console?

my normal xbox controller does not drift to left and right but everytime i do move up or down it stays almost high as i pushed it idk what to do

So when I bring up the box to press the left analog stick, the x isn't centered.

i have a slight issue so this tutorial is great n stuff but i have a problem with the sticck driftt is so bad it goes 100% up so does that mean that i have to clean the whole controller and take it apart? Please let me know

Hey guys, is it normal to have a little loose on analog stisck? I have about 0,5 mm on both stick until i can feel resistance from springs. It`s 8bitdo ultimate bloototh with hall effect sensor, with are sapoused to be stick drift less, but couse of that mechanical loose they are not. They can stay 1% of center, acording to software. The controller is new, is it normal?

I don't know what I did wrong but now Steam and all its games don't register when left stick goes up and down. But all the collaboration apps and everything else outside of Steam is working great. Can someone help me if you know something about that issue?

Ok, so steam updated and I can't calibrate analogs anymore? I can only see deadzone and gyroscopio or whatever

OK, so when tuning attachments the sliders just move on their own but I don't have stick drift in game

Plz guys i need some help here. is it at all possible to increase ps5 controller deadzone using a pc to not have drift shift when I play ps5 games? I mean will the deadzone increase remain there when I try to use the controller on my ps5 console

Nice! One thing I do wanna mention is that DS4 Windows actually has had a live monitor when your tuning. It a Tab listed as "Controller Readings" Under in "Profiles" Tab

when I lay my thumb on my left stick it glitches out and does random inputs do you know why?

My drift is so bad the maximum deadspace on steam won’t stop it

can anyone help me my Y axis is not fully go down but when i hold the LS button it will go down fully but when i release it go back to the problem

How do I change the sensitivity on my controller, I did it once, but can’t find it again

I do not see a “calibration” option on the Series X. Only a “configure” option and that is not it. Am I just missing it?

Tell me something. I playing with new ps4 controller on PC. His sticks works good in COD, SpiderMan, The Last of Us and etc. Except Division 2. In this game right stick without touching moving up towards the sky. Why? There was some drift issues that prevent to play Any game. After cleaning up controller started to work normaly in all games, except Division 2. Any deadzone plays are not worked for somehow

Hey gamer heaven is there a way to do this on ps5? I went to Accessories-->Controller but I couldn't find anything

My left anolog stick is moving by itself? Any idea how to fix that? Ps4??

i just bought a controller and my issue is not enough response when i move the stick i want it to register as soon as i move it

I know im late but in fh5 pc my xbox360 wire controller randomly steers left after i steer right, is it stick drift or something else? Im controller noob but can't play forza without one

I have 2 ps5 controllers... the first one accuates R3 and L3 if I click either... now my new one is starting to randomly drift (kinda)... like if I turn it doesn't stop when I stop... but it eventually stops. If I don't touch it I can set a dead zone at 0.02 and not drift at all... I'm hoping it just needs to be cleaned. But who knows

I guess steam updated the UI because I can't get to that calibration page

How do you get to the old calibration setup in Steam now with the new layout?

Hello any help with a xbox controller 3rd party but the Bluetooth adapter broke :/ any software u know of that can download? O do I have to buy another dongle?????? Asking for my kid ty

Can I get a link or the title of the review video? i'm invested in buying the magnetic sticks

I have one question. I play Cod and i use tactical so i press on the right stick to crouch/slide. Would that contribute to stick drift and damage it or stick drift is strictly about moving the stick itself?

About circularity, could you try to mess with the ReWASD settings from 9:51 to see if they can perhaps fix or at least reduce circularity on a controller, maybe in your "11:09" ? If this can, then I might buy this software... might. thx 12:11 If you click "controller readings" on the top left, wouldn't that display what you were looking for ? Also Gamepad-tester would see this as an xbox controller so theoretically you could get readings from there in real time right ?

@getit7107

Жыл бұрын

You would want to increase the circularity that is the term for describing the relation between the physical movement of the stick around its outer extreme rotation and how the 2 analog post sticking into the potentiometers sensor wheel move during that rotation. The only way to get a more accurate circularity is replacing the analog stick with one with extremely tight feel and tolerances between the plastic connecting joints of the x and y axis. A software mod would require adding/increasing resistance value between multiple specific values between both x and y axis to have a general reference of what angle the stick is currently at and to program a perfect circularity between all 360 degrees could require well over 100 resistance value sets.

What about the new steam layout ? I don’t see this calibrate option why did they have to change it

A simple explanation of how to remedy it would be nice. Not an 18-minute video of padding was needed! Nevertheless, adjusting the dead zone bar has done the trick! for Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I ended up with a problem I was trying to fix my stick drift but now my controller is on player 2 so now I can play my games with the controller cause of how do I get it back to player 1 plz😢🖐️help

let's send a letter to Alps quality department

I have a cheaper new controller bought mail order from dealer and started playing skyrim on Steam PC but immediately experience huge thumbstick problems aiming and navigation. I crash and bump into everything worse than a bull in china shop 😮 My question is can this be corrected or is itjust my loss and must buy better upgrade? My refund period has ended so no return. Online test show all buttons work but calibration off 27% both sides. My skill/experience is still beginner but i never had such problems with my ps4 so many years ago🤠

I guess they may have changed it since you posted this video, but big picture mode looks SIGNIFIGANTLY different on my computer (windows 10), and I can't even select my xbox 360 controller. There's a 'test device input' option, and it's SHOWING that my left stick is pointing to the bottom right, but there's noting I can do to fix it or recalibrate it. (I've already used the windows controller calibration and it's showing that it's properly calibrated after going through their steps, but it's clearly still drifting)

Is it normal for both my x and y rotation to be 0 while my z is 50

people dont put links of the websites they are using not into the description anymore?

I have razor v2 … do u know anyway to get less dead zone on this pos?! Pls and Ty

What is the calibration software for the console. Where do I get it?

i dont have a usb controller configuration app on my windows 11?

So my PDP Rematch controller has a standard polling rate of 254 and 4.0 ms input delay and AFTER overclock has a polling rate of 517 and input delay of 1.9ms.. Im shocked lol

Hi, so I don't have a drift problem on my controller but I don't know what to call it, so like my xbox 360 controller, the right analog stick that mostly used for controlling camera direction in games right? during ingame session, I noticed whenever I tried to turn the camera direction to where I want it to be, it's kinda.. stutter? or lag input I believe? like you want to turn the camera as fast as you want, it stuttered slowly, I tried changing the sensitivity setting, middle nor max sensitivity fix this.

Analog Stick Drift Fix. They sell this online. very easy to solder is to the board and it fixes it forever.

video was done well, sadly my left stick, on 9mo old dualsense, will pull hard left (30-100%) if its a hairs thickness to the right within the 8% deadzone shown in the ds4windows section. Even holding straight up, deviate to the right by a hair and bam it adds a hard left signal. if you go further than the typical deadzone area it isn't a problem, clicking in the stick while manipulating the stick won't trigger it either. I had an original dualshock for over 15years, cable gave up before the sticks, sure the deadzone got wider over time and I was prepared for that on a new controller purchase.. not like this .
