Tried and it made no difference, issue is with controller I believe as when I use left analog stick forward with my trigger stops engaged it will act as if I’m pulling the left trigger

I agree, the only controller I have that works properly is my elite. All the controllers I have either have triggers that don't work right or the left thumb stick wont work in the up position.

Hi Beau,

I don't think it's possible at this moment to map the right or left sticks to assign them to specific buttons. What you can do is map clicking in the right stick into press Right Trigger. But the only customization with the sticks are swapping the left and the right, or inverting the Y axis.

I don't personally own the adaptive controller, but trying these settings with the Elite Series 2 controller does not allow me to do so. If there are any more questions, please let me know.

Fixed it. Since it was out of warranty, i opened it up. I found the Hall sensors. Found the "Rogue Screw" removed it. Used the Game controller tester and had the controller plugged into my computer. All I did was tap on the sensor a few times with my trusty
torx bit, voila, started working. I hope this helps others.
