10 months ago The last changes to stick calibration for the Switch Pro was in version 3.2.12. The current routine takes the first read input for LS and RS and makes that the center point for use in the stick calibration routine. The stick boundaries are adjusted from the stored factory settings based on the initial stick center. The routine works better off for my controller and it still works.
That routine should not affect any Switch Pro that has been calibrated on a Switch console. The raw calibration data is used if a user configuration is found on the device.
Not much to do without the raw data from the Switch Pro reader to work with.
Describe the bug Whenever I connect my nintendo switch pro controller to ds4windows, most of the time one or both sticks will drift in a random direction. It's always one of the eight main directions (up down left right or diagonally), it's still detecting inputs because when its drifting up down left or right i can move the stick a bit but it still always rubs against the "maximum" wall. this happens both wirelessly and wired, although it seems less common when i use it wirelessly. this isnt a hardware problem because when i connect my controller without ds4windows there isnt any drift at all, so i am almost certain its a problem with ds4windows itself
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior There should be no drift when the controller is connected
Screenshots and Logs example image of what the drift looks like:

Additional context This started happening a few months ago, where it was much rarer. it got progressively worse until i have to disconnect and reconnect my controller over the course of several minutes before it works properly
