Xbox One controller can't recalibrate stick with joy.cpl

Viceks · Mar 21, 2018

Hello,

I bought a Xbox One controller 2 weeks ago.

I'm using it on a Windows 10 Computer.

It was working fine until yesterday.

My controller buttons works except for the sticks.

I tried to calibrate my controller with joy.cpl but when I test out the left stick it goes always in the bottom right corner.

I tried to reset the controller with Microsoft Accessories App but it didn't work.

Do anyone got a fix for this?

:)

Xbox 360 Controller Issues on PC

EDIT: Fixed it. Fiddled with drivers and uninstalling/reinstalling programs for a while, but eventually figured out that I just had to run the joy.cpl program and recalibrate the controller (there's a calibrate button on the Settings tab).

This is an Xbox 360 Wired Controller btw.

Xbox One controller's left trigger or right trigger held down indefinitely (Windows 10)

Some DirectInput based games don't understand split trigger support in the Xbox One controller. You can see the difference in the axes for joy.cpl(Start->Run->joy.cpl) using a 360 controller vs an Xbox One controller (3 axes for 360 vs 4 for Xbox One). Please
list the games you're facing trouble with as this is a game specific problem.

Hey Viceks! Since the controller was purchased so recently, your best bet is to return to the retailer for an exchange. If you continue to have issues, please let us know. Thanks!

I am having the same problem. My left analog stick is drifting up, and it is getting worse, almost to the point where I can't control it. Microsoft needs a fix, nothing is broken in the controller, seems like a calibration is needed. Is there a way to
recalibrate the analog sticks?

I am sorry to hear that.

Have you tried to use the Xbox Accessories App to calibrate the sticks?

Open the Xbox Accessories app on your console or PC.

On the screen for your controller in the Accessories app, select “…“ to open the device details screen.

Before you recalibrate your controller, check to see if there’s a firmware update available for your controller. If there is, update your controller before you recalibrate.

Select Recalibration options.

Select the specific thumbstick you want to recalibrate (left or right).

Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the recalibration.
