All three Series Controllers I own have a weird dead zone thing going on

MaWeCo · Apr 2, 2022

All three of my controllers have a slight stop at Y:100, X:100, Y:-100, X:-100. This isn't a question on how to fix it, as I don't think it can, but a suggestion that Microsoft fix the issue. This is ruining movement on every game as characters can't turn a precise 360° and it makes aiming hard on FPS games. I'm leaving a link what it's doing. If anyone else is having this issue I suggest you leave your company so Microsoft knows this is a common problem.

Complaint, not company. Stupid auto correct.

Faulty controller now. The only workout around is some games let you change the dead zone. Unless its an elite controller. Serise 2 has a 1 year warranty, or if its a serise 1 or all together out of warranty you can set your own dead zones.

Normally if I have drift I change the dead zone and increase it if the game has it. I get the same thing in borderlands 3 and increasing dead zone little by little till it went away. I dont play apex so not sure on controller settings there. I know most
shooters nowadays have dead zone settings though.

drift is the only issue I've ever had, and it's very upsetting. Dead zone fixed the issue on my older xbox one controller but my new series x controller only lasted about 9 months and even I baby these things. They don't make them like they used to. I wish all I had was sticky buttons.

It isn't the deadzone ! It happens with all games, it doesn't happen with my new controller (yet) many other people are having issues with left stick on XBone controllers. I've been a gamer for many years and have experienced dead zone issues before, this
is not a dead zone issue.
