    Xbox controller left stick y axis severy limited range


    The y axis on the left stick is suddenly severely limited.

    Tested on Win10 .

    It seems like the left y axis potmeter is broken.

    There is also a delay returning to center on the left y axis.

    Unusable as is.

    Controller is 2 years old, mild use only, did not drop or bash.

    - Tried recalibrating in windows, no change.

    - Tried running with a cable (always do this), no change.

    - Tried rebooting

    - Tried reinstalling driver

    - Tried replugging

    - Tried other cable

    below low left shows the stick circularity.

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent adviser.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you need help on your controller problem.

    Have you already tried checking if the controller needs an update?

    You can check that by installing the Xbox accessories app.

    Check this for more information and guide:

    If this does not work still, I would already conclude that the controller is already defective and needs repair.

    Hope that helps!

    Why is Invert Y axis an option and Invert X axis not?

    Actually it is on the system level. The downloading app on Xbox called the Xbox accessories app. It works for both regular controllers and adaptive controllers.

    That is like the almost perfect app for dealing with controllers.

    You convert the left stick Y Axis, you can invert the right stick y axis.

    You could swap the left stick and the right stick functions but you can't invert either x-axis.

    Also the buttons have a funny issue that the triggers can only be swapped with each other and all the other made buttons could be swapped with each other but you can't mix triggers and non triggers.

    I don't know if you do that that was a way that Xbox universally deals with controllers.

    How Do You Flip the X axis on a USB controller plugged into the Adaptive controller

    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.

    How Do You Flip the X axis on a USB controller plugged into the Adaptive controller

    Hi TripleTopper321

    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community



    I do understand the urgency of you wanting to find other ways for this issue of yours in regards with your controller. We are very glad to help you out to find some of the best possible options and troubleshooting's that we can provide for you.

    I understand that you would like to have access to both the Xbox accessories app for the standard controller and the Xbox adaptive controller to be able to remap the x-axis of the sticks. I will do my best to assist you with this concern.



    Now, to address your concern, the Xbox accessories app for the standard controller does not allow you to remap the x-axis of the sticks. However, the Xbox accessories app for the Xbox adaptive controller does allow you to remap both the x-axis and y-axis of the sticks.



    To access the Xbox accessories app for the Xbox adaptive controller, you will need to connect the controller to your Windows 10 PC using a USB cable or Xbox Wireless Adapter. Once connected, you can download and install the Xbox accessories app from the Microsoft Store.



    After installing the app, you can launch it and select the Xbox adaptive controller from the list of connected devices. From there, you can select the stick you want to remap and choose the "Remap button" option. This will allow you to remap both the x-axis and y-axis of the stick to any other button or axis on the controller.



    Regarding your concern about remapping the x-axis of the right stick for camera controls, you can use the Xbox accessories app for the Xbox adaptive controller to remap the stick to your desired configuration. For example, you can remap the right stick's x-axis to the left stick's x-axis and vice versa.



    As for remapping the x-axis of the left stick for a right-handed fight stick, you can also use the Xbox accessories app for the Xbox adaptive controller to remap the stick to your desired configuration. You can remap the left stick's x-axis to the right stick's x-axis and vice versa.





    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your issue. I hope all of this information's are helpful. We look forward on your response.

    controller not controlling movement on screen correctly

    Hi

    If this is happening everywhere and not just with Fifa 19 I would check the Xbox Accessories app on the console as it has a couple of options in the app that can invert the X and Y axis on the controller left stick.
