Custom thumbstick response curves for elite 2 controller-xbox accessories app-windows

Hi SamMedly! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Its possible to adjust the response curve on the joystick for Xbox Elite controller but not for regular Xbox controllers, this can be done on the accessories app from Xbox

Hi ,

Thanks for taking the time to ask this question here on the forums. Regarding the thumbsticks on the new Xbox Elite controller series 2, the calculations refer to actions that can be taken by the thumbsticks themselves, so it essentially the following (pardon
for the loose translations):

• Radial - based on radius of full or half-circle movements made by the thumbstick,
• Independent axis - based on the X or Y axis (up/down, L to R movement)
• True Diagonals - would mean true 90deg diagonals based on the X/Y axis

For further information regarding any settings on this particular controller, I'd recommend checking out the following support articles that can detail what can be done more explicitly:

Adjust the thumbsticks on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2


Use the Xbox Accessories app to customize your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2  


In general, it would be a good idea to test out different settings, just to see what works best for you and makes you more comfortable in gaming with the controller.

I hope that this information helps out!

Oh okay , thank you very much for this response.

If you have an standard Xbox controller, you can't change the dead zone in the Xbox accessories app, this will have to be changed in the game settings, if the game has the options for it

If you have an elite controller, on the accessories app you can change the response curve of the sticks that will be kind of a deadzone setting

Thanks, although the video is from more than a year ago - around the time of release of the controller. Also, the Accessories App updated to the latest version when I first plugged in the Elite Controller. I only see the presets, with no function to customize
curves from scratch.

If you are referring to the Trigger sensitivity, you can can customize the sensitivity of your triggers by adjusting their maximum and minimum ranges.

To customize the triggers, you can use the hair-trigger mechanical switch on your controller or with the Trigger sensitivity section in the app.

You can refer for the steps and suggestions under Sticks, triggers & vibration on this

link.

Depending on the game you play, these settings will have different responses. One way to test your settings is to set Slot 1 to
Default and Slot 2 to your customized setting.
