​@thephototechy Sure. I calibrated my controller's left stick because it had a slight drift upwards to the left. After calibrating it, the analog started drifting hard to the right. I recalibrated it again and it started drifting barely, but it was more centered than it ever was before. Then, I closed the application and played some 2042, the controller was much better, and I could even lower the dead zones to 4. However, after playing for about 3 minutes, it started drifting hard to the right, and I was confused as it was perfect before. I tried resetting the dead zones back to the original ones, but it still kept drifting hard to the right. I closed the game and recalibrated it multiple times, but it would barely move from the right after many calibrations to the controller. I got it more centered and re-entered the game, and it stopped drifting for two minutes, but then it started drifting hard to the right again. I tried recalibrating it again, but it didn't solve the problem. 😕

Try This❗️ I actually managed to find a fix while frustratedly trying everything possible. Do the calibration again as instructed, then when it is finished and the controller vibrates, IMMEDIATELY close the Accessories App (where the calibration tool is located) and immediately after that turn off the controller (using the pop up menu holding the Xbox button for a second) This fixed the issue for me

I have an Xbox controller with hall effect sticks from one of these 3rd party modders which was badly calibrated. Using this new update DOES calibrate it, but only on one stick for some weird reason. After I do both sticks, they'll have nicely calibrated circularities, but after about 30 seconds the one that was calibrated last will revert back to a full on 21-22% error rate. I tried doing left then right, and also right then left. It's weird.

@@thephototechy Great suggestion! I don't exactly know if it was due to this or one other LULbrain idea I had, but the calibration on both sticks seems to be staying now! Thank you!! LULbrain idea: I noticed that after calibrating and then testing the sticks in hardwaretester, the most recently calibrated one would go back to its previous state. If I calibrated in the app but never touched the sticks afterwards, even after 10 minutes if I went into hardwaretester the sticks would still both show proper calibration for those 30 seconds, and THEN the recently calibrated one would revert. Then I also noticed that I had the battery pack installed. So... I removed the battery pack, connected via USB, did the calibration, did the testing on the website, and before it had a chance to revert back to the "uncalibrated" state, I disconnected the cable. 😂 I may do this a few more times to see if I can dial in the error rate even lower, but as of now both sticks are showing 8-9% error rate consistently.

Hello, i have a Gamesir G7 SE, beautiful controller but with one issue, the joysticks register 100% input even tho I’m only pushing the stick ~ 90%. I have tried calibrated the controller several times but it doesn’t seem help. Any idea what I could do?

@thephototechy

5 ай бұрын

Hey do you mean the stick doesn’t reach the physical gate fully and register 100%? That’s normal for absolute corners to behave this way, some controllers have less dead space and some more. It’s all to do with the active area the stick is registering in. Check on HCI design website gamepd section, if the values are going up in .5 to .6 increments then calibration is fine.

Pro-tip. Don't buy shitty Microsoft controllers until they start using hall effect joysticks. Get a gamesir.

First party like Microsoft and Sony tend to do more business with Japanese firms and anything from mainland China is a bit difficult to get on board with them. I know Favorunion has worked with Sony in the past but that was probably due to Alps not being able to handle the amount. I doubt Microsoft or Sony would get Ksilver sticks, but if Alps release their HE module then I’m sure we’ll see them in both Xbox and Sony controllers.

Facts

@hypno17 @The PhotoTechy I want to further elaborate on WHY this is a bad idea for anyone that's running hall effect sticks on third party controllers. This software is designed for use with Xbox's controllers, which use potentiometers. The way pot sticks work is by adjusting voltage input based off of where the slider contact is and it's relative resistance along a curve. So basically, two pieces of metal contact one another, and they adjust voltage to the chip as they do so based off position. That voltage, in turn, becomes a useable signal that can be interpreted (through software) as "direction X at XX°." This is also WHY you get drift with them - because, naturally, over time the metal breaks down from friction. Hall effect sticks, by design, use a MUCH different method of detection, and interpretation. They use magnets and hall effect sensors to adjust voltage based off magnetic frequency and in turn (through DIFFERENT software) adjust the voltage. They get drift because over time the magnets lose power resulting in misreads. This adjustment software was designed specifically for sticks that use potentiometers, and likewise, VERY specific controllers (by that I mean the chip, not the device you hold and play with.) Due to that the voltage for "XX°" is completely different on Pots vs HE's. For SOME HE sticks it could render them useless, for others it may do nothing, and for some it may cause irreversible drift that's WAY worse. Your best bet is buying controllers that have HE sticks and come with calibration software via embedded solutions, android apps, or windows apps and using those to recalibrate the sticks. Hope this helps and feel free to pin this.

Hey man can you teach me the best way to calibrate the gamsir SE? Is it by app or Manual calibration because I'm pretty good at cod and I'm always over compensating and it feels odd. I've tried numerous calibrations, I feel the centre point on cod is always off hence the over compensating. On a standard Xbox controller I over compensate less but I hate the slow feel to the sticks

Hey definitely the manual calibratworka better for my unit, don’t know what it is but the app doesn’t change the centre point a lot for me. Check your drift numbers with 0 deadzones and see where you have more drift right or left. You can do this by moving the stick with in that small slip and see which side has a larger register. I try and keep the left right similar but more towards the bottom as I think it helps with recoil control specially when playing with low deadzones. So let’s say within the slop you have a 6% register towards right and only 2% towards left, in this scenario we need to move the centre point towards right a bit. So I’d chose a point where the sticks have a 2.5% or there about register towards the right and leave it there. Enter the manual calibration mode making sure the stick was not moved at all, that point you chose will become the new centre, so once calibrated you should have near 4% each side, meaning you can play with 3% deadzones easily instead of a 5-6%. If you get stuck reach me through IG and maybe we can do a video call or something, but definitely watch my video on the G7se stick drift fix in which I’ve shown the method as well.

Ive played around with a controller that had drift issues. And while i had the frontplate removed and did this it briked the pcb i guess. Cause now if i have the front installed i only reach 80%. That means i cant finish a new calibration that would be needed to shrink the edges back to normal. 😢 Anyone know how to reset a standard controllers calibration somehow?

Hey man so personally I’ve been extremely lucky when it comes to stick drift, as never had any game breaking drift on any of my controllers. I’ve had jitter issues with PowerA enhanced and some of the Eswap controllers, but never that dreaded out of control drift of over 8-9% at rest. If I have to pick controllers that’ll last a while, I’d say any controllers with Hall effect sticks like Gamesir G7se, Snakebyte gamepd pro & stealth ultra. The thing is Ksilver modules have a rating of 5 million cycles, which more than double of alps and favorunion’s 2 million cycles, but they still have a failure time limit of sorts. I have a video planned on Ksilver modules which I’m hoping to shoot very soon. In my experience alps and favorunion sticks can last a long time, specially if it’s your main controller then you sorta learn the deterioration as well whilst using, and don’t even realise until you start using a new controller, atleast it’s the case for me personally. The springs do lose tension and develop slop, some modules handles them better than others, but that dreaded potentiometer failing drift has luckily avoided me. So I’d say if you want a controller that can last a while, then either chose HE sticks, or something that has good quality alps or higher favorunion models, and definitely stay away from cheaper Xbox controllers like PowerA enhanced, PDP rematch and turtlebeach recon. The life rating of the sticks in cheap controllers is a lot less than others, also their tact switch in the sticks are only rated for 100k presses, compared to 500k on alps and 1m on favorunion higher modules and C&K in thrustmaster controllers. For me the tact switch has been an issue a couple of times as it failed due to my play style.
