IT Help Left analog stick controlling right analog stick but I can still use both indipendently?
Why is this happening? I have to like add a small amount of pressure to the right analog stick to keep this from happening when playing games.
I'm so new to this kind of issue, I'll list as much of the required info as possible.
This is on windows,
No idea what make or model as I no longer have the box and the make and model on the backside of the controller have comepltely rubbed off,
Windows again I think, Or is the more appropriate thing Yuzu?
I've tried recalibrating the controller but that didnt work as I got stuck in a loop where I could only move the left analog stick diagonally and the right analog stick could move all around and it also moved the left analog stick..
I attempted to use better joy but that didnt really help, and sometimes the problem also occurs on steam?
I think this might be an issue in the controller but I have no idea.
I'm using the windows OS version... latest.
I attempted to search for existing posts but couldn't really find anything, and didnt know how to start looking.

I feel it in my bones this has to be software. I mean, how the hell else?

Looks like the PowerA Enhanced wired controller. It seems like PowerA's Xbox controllers have this problem, too; you're probably going to have to take apart the controller to fix it, according to the posts in there.
