  • @peterpang5759
    @peterpang5759 Před 9 dny

    Stick drift is due to the wearing off of the potentiometer disc inside the analog stick module. The only way to fix this is to replace the potentiometer disc, or replace the whole analog stick module. But movements may or may not be 100% accurate due to the x and y axis calibration embedded within the ROM chip of the controller not aligning with the new analog module/potentiometer disc.

    Hey looking for someone to help me out, my controller has been jittering(for the lack of a better term) where when I press my left stick to the right, it doesn’t go all the way to the dead zone and jumps values. In game the result is that it seems to want to fight me when I walk right. It does nothing when I move left and does nothing when I’m not touching my controller. There seems to be no information about this problem and people only post about stick drift.
