    New controller update ruins dead zones and linear response curve


    In the past when having dead zones off and a linear response curve you have a permanent small amount of stick drift which is ideal for certain games. In the most recent update, something was implemented to combat that which would allow the stick drift to kick in then proceed to immediately stop itself almost like it would recenter the stick as if you had never touched it at all. Some games such as apex legend gives you a disadvantage and almost makes it useless to run the response curve with no dead zone. I do not play other games on this particular setup but has anyone else ran into this problem. At least allow us to revert to the previous update I am on a Xbox series controller and we are not allowed to revert to the pervious firmware.

    5.23.5.0 controller firmware update(HAS DEAD ZONE BUGS!!) : r/XboxController

    this link has the same issue as me with some smarter people who know more than me talk about it

    from what I understand you have added in update 5.23.5.0 a virtual dead zone that when your stick is close enough to zero input its coded to snap to zero as a way to combat stick drift which makes dead zones feel off and that you are not able to turn this feature off or revert to not have this as some games its beneficial to have some drift i.e apex legends. this also effects all games and micro adjustments are harder to do as you are fighting the virtual dead zone that you can't adjust or test. essentially you can't have no dead zone anymore.

    I could not find this on Xbox website I found it on a battle beaver post a very reputable custom controller designer company

    Controller update question

    Juice: The update apparently adjusts the response and dead zone of the controller and adds the firmware needed for the Headset Adapter and Stereo Headset.

    Controller analogs dead zone issue.

    We should be able to set custome curves and dead zone. Microsoft even advertised that as an option when the elite came out but still no where to be found. I just watched a demo video where the custome curve/dead zone were running.

    Xbox one controller deadzone

    Hi Mazamoose7! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    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

    The sick only fully responds when pushed halfway (series x)

    Thanks for all the help. It's a new series X and I've tested another series S controller and it's the same. After searching it seems to be a combination of built in zones and response curves and that the sticks on the xbox have way less tension than ps4. Doesn't work well for my man hands.
