Hello I need my xbox controllers rs to be inverted in windows.

Hello Bryce Minar-Poole,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, here on community we are not able to double check accounts and devices to check for the possible issue. What we can do here is provide/guide customers with possible troubleshooting steps for the issue.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Xbox controller. To invert the right stick on your Xbox controller in Windows, you can try the following steps:



1. Open the Xbox Accessories app on your Windows computer.

2. Connect your Xbox controller to your computer using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter.

3. Select your controller from the list of devices in the app.

4. Click on the "Configure" button.

5. Click on the "Button mapping" option.

6. Select the right stick from the list of buttons.

7. Check the box next to "Invert axis."

8. Click on the "Save" button to save your changes.



If you're still having trouble saving your profile, you can try running the Xbox Accessories app as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the app icon and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. This should give you the necessary permissions to save your profile.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hello Cozier,

Thanks for coming to the forums. With the
accessories app on PC or Xbox console, you can configure the controller in many ways. Also, some games have an invert control option. They are usually Invert Y axis, or invert X axis.

Hope this helps.

Just as many people use inverted controls as there those who don't.

I use inverted controls.

On Starfield you just go to the settings,controls & the option to invert various controls are there.

Is that opposite direction thing only happening in game, or does it also move inverted in the main menu?

If it is only in game, especially First Person Shooters, you can set up the camera direction to be "inverted". Go to the game's control option and check if there is a setting for the camera Y axis to be inverted.

If the inverted controls also happen in the Xbox main menu screens, check if you have inverted the controls in the Xbox Accessories App.

"Starfield has invert Y, I set it myself, and I wouldn't play the game without it. "

I love love LOVE how you read like every other word of that sentence. Let me re-write the sentence you read, with emphasis on the words you need to comprehend in order to understand the nuance of my question:

I am trying to use the Xbox Accessories app to invert my Xbox One Controller's Y-axis on the right thumb stick for Microsoft's new game Starfield, a game so modern that it fails to include the option to invert controller inputs without also inverting the mouse controls (monsters!)

Now that we've re-read that sentence and thought about the part I bolded and underlined for you, can yiu tell me what the issue is that I'm facing?
