Controller deadzone settings

A larger dead zone hides resting drift but also removes small intentional movement.

Run the check

  1. Leave the stick untouched and record the resting axis values.

  2. Move it slowly from center and note when the game responds.

  3. Adjust the game's dead zone one step at a time and repeat the same movement.

Read the result

Choose the smallest setting that suppresses unwanted motion in that game.

Limits and next step

Browser axis values may already include a driver dead zone.

Repeat the check after changing one setting or connection. Keep a record of what changed before deciding whether the device needs service.
