Switch Pro Controller joystik not reaching max positive values on X and Y axis

[Kerlirock]

Hello, First, i'd like to make clear that I've seen many other people having the same issue, and despite the help provided, i can't seem to make my controller work as intended, even when i use the "Calibrate" option. Also, I'd like to use this controller in bluetooth, not cabled, so using the cable to make it work isn't an option.

DESCRIPTION Whenever i launch a Steam game and use one of my joysticks via BetterJoy, they can't reach the maximum value on the X and Y axis. This results in unwanted behaviors like moving slower to the right and forward than to the left and backward. However, when i don't use BetterJoy for non-Steam games, the joysticks seem to work just fine.

I've tested my controller on this website: https://gamepad-tester.com (check "Test Circularity") Here's the results of the left and right joysticks respectively when i spin them.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR As you can see on the screenshot above, the green segments seem to represent lower values. However, as far as i know, each segment should be blue, so that each axis value is the same.

CONTROLLER

• Type: Pro Switch
• Connection: Bluetooth

I finally figured it out, here's what i did for those who may encounter the same issue:

1- First, I've read that calibration options only work on 3rd-Party Controllers, so I clicked on "Add Controllers".

Here's what i did on this window (don't forget to hit "Apply" when you're done).

When testing this with the default settings, my joysticks values looked something like this.

2- Then, with this new controller setup, I changed the values of "stick_cal" and "stick2_cal", referring to the calibration values of both my joysticks. Here are the values I ended up using. I don't know if those values apply to every other Pro Switch Controllers though (again, don't forget to hit the "Apply" button): stick_cal: 0x500,0x500,0x720,0x700,0x500,0x500 stick2_cal: 0x500,0x500,0x780,0x790,0x500,0x500

Testing my joysticks with those values, here's what they look like. Those are not perfect, but they work fine for me, I'll change them in the future if I feel the need to.

how did you arrive at those new calibration values?

how did you arrive at those new calibration values?

Honestly, it was kind of random. I tried to enter a value, see how it affected my joystick on Gamepad Tester, then correct it if needed, and repeat the process over and over until I got happy with the result. As you can see, the red parts of the joysticks indicate that those values should be lower, but I guess the values are clamped so that it would never get too high. Anyway I never had to complain about anything.

Also, note that my friend tried BetterJoy with a similar controller, and he never had to change any value, it just worked on its own. So I guess those values are specific to my controller and not every Pro Switch Controller. You may not need to modify those values.

Woops, wrong account
