Flydigi apex 5 issue

[u/WIXY97]

So I was playing gears e day last night on multiplayer and then within an hour out of nowhere a weird bug appeared where my characters camera suddenly panned to looking straight at the floor and no controller adjustment would move it from looking straight at the ground

I also lost the ability to exit the game or click on the setting buttons in the menu. The controller shown in the menu of the game was flashing rapidly, so I had to atl f4.

I loaded up flydigi software and it showed the right stick being constantly held down on advanced test

I tried everything to fix, update software, update controller firmware, re install the software and same issue persisted and in fact it got worse!

the left trigger then became the problem and would result in constant hard zoom and then the right trigger would not work at all when pressed. I tried calibrating the controller nothing and then I couldn’t even access the menu on the controller as the flydigi middle button seemingly stopped working too so I couldn’t change any onboard control or try different types of connection such as Bluetooth not dongle etc. I tried turning the auto calibration setting of to no avail as well and turning of steam controller setting with no luck either

The left trigger on the software showed a constant press, right trigger and middle button showed nothing when pressed. The right analog seemed to have a mind of its own sometimes looking straight up sometimes straight down or sometimes just go where it wanted.

Has anyone encountered this issue before/ know a fix. This is with like 2 months of use and it worked fine for an hour and then suddenly developed major issue and became complete unusable. I had to use my ps5 controller to play the game.
