How to invert the X Axis on the Right Analogue Stick on Xbox Series X?

I thoroughly looked through both options. Neither option had the ability to invert the X axis on the right analogue stick. Both gave me the option to invert the Y axis on the analogue stick but not with the X axis. Can you walk me through all of the steps again this time using screenshots? Thank you.

Hello Aptom,

Thank you for patiently waiting and truly apologized for some delay from my end in responding your concern.

We have reproduced the issue in our end and you are correct that it is only inverting the Y-axis that is available in the option. We have discussed this already with our internal support team and it seems that this is a feature limitation. Although this has been brought up by some players already and it may take time to have this feature available soon on the next future updates with the console.

On the other hand you can submit your request through the Xbox insider community which you can find in this link: Provide feedback to Team Xbox | Xbox Support

Thank you for bringing this concern we appreciate your idea and feedback. This will help improves the gaming experience for you and everyone else in the community.

Sincerely,

If you said all I could do is swap the left x axis with the right x-axis that doesn't no good except switching hands.

I need the ability to invert the x-axis so that right becomes left and left becomes right for both the camera controls for Super Mario 64 like camera control and for making a right-handed fight stick left handed by rotating the physical fight stick 180 degrees, and flipping the left x axis and flipping the left y axis for both of those purposes.

You could remap the left x axis to the right x-axis but you can't flip either axis there's a big difference between remapping axes and flipping axes

Neither your application app for the standard controller nor the Adaptive controller will let you flip the axes. You could flip the y-axis for like flight games but you never thought of flipping the x-axis for Super Mario 64 and for right-handing a fight stick.

I know if the digital inputs are used you could simply map up to be down down to be up as well as right to be left and left to be right on the d-pad and you got a perfectly inverted joystick but some games like ones that use digital movement can't do that easily.

Usually, the x axis isnt inverted. The Y axis has an invert option for FPS games, or other games that you may invert the Y axis.
