Controller Deadzone Settings

Zachary Bannister · Mar 9, 2023

It has becoming clear that not every game is going to add deadzone support like Call of Duty or Halo. For example Destiny 2, such a great game but is starting to feel clunky with the giant deadzones you are forced to play with. Is there any way to adjust this to make the deadzones smaller on my controller?

Something like the Steam Controller Configurator allows you to adjust your controller deadzone for everything you play on Steam. Does Xbox have any plans to add a similar tool like that?

Note: I have an Elite 1 and an Elite 2; adjusting the response curves does not solve the above problem.

anyone with the speed wheel willing to share settings? I just got a new one and am trying to learn how to tweak the controls. there's no guide on what any of these settings mean. or know any sites that will explain the following settings?

right now I'm kinda happy with speed wheel setting 1 with the following:

with these settings sometimes I totally feel dialed in and other times I'm out of control.

steering axis deadzone inside: 0

steering axis deadzone outside: 50

acceleration axis deadzone inside: 0

acceleration axis deadzone outside: 50

deceleration axis deadzone inside: 0

deceleration axis deadzone outside: 50

clutch axis deadzone inside: 0

clutch axis deadzone outside: 50

handbrake axis deadzone inside: 0

handbrake axis deadzone outside: 50

vibration scale: 100

here are the default speed wheel settings which drove me crazy:

steering axis deadzone inside: 1

steering axis deadzone outside: 95

acceleration axis deadzone inside: 15

acceleration axis deadzone outside: 100

deceleration axis deadzone inside: 15

deceleration axis deadzone outside: 95

clutch axis deadzone inside: 15

clutch axis deadzone outside: 90

handbrake axis deadzone inside: 0

handbrake axis deadzone outside: 100

vibration scale: 100

There are any other question that I can help you?

Hi, my name is Fernando and I am an independent consultant for Microsoft products.

If you already adjust the response curves and your issue was not solved there's nothing that you can do for now...

Nowadays Xbox don't have a tool like Steam Controller Configurator... and here in the forum we have no information about Microsoft plans about a tool like that...

No, I appreciate your feedback though!

I hope someday they add more features on the Xbox controller configuration tool, like deadzone settings.

Cheers
