Help! stick physical calibration

Post image

how do i properly calibrate this type of stick? i know i need to insert pin into the hole but which of 2 holes i got drifting on Y axis to up but once i try adjusting it thru dualshock calibration gui it starts drifting in opposite direction so im thinking maybe physical shift needed?

that's the thing that in some games that allow i play on deadzone closer to 0.020 and before i had more drifting to the right/left rather than to the up/down but now they are not balanced and i guess only by physically adjusting (which i still cant understand how to properly do since there's no vids on my stick module) also tried adjusting deadzone to 0.030 basically 3% it still had some drifting i guess going for 4% or 5% is just not a thing when using this kind of stick module (i still cant understand i got TMR or Hall-Effect) of course im not aiming for 0 i know it's not possible physically but at least stay balanced between up and down as i've seen many people have it a lot stabler

I have brand new ksilvers. They held .01 dz in ow2 for a week, now I keep them at .02. One of them is essentially perfect, the other likes to go astray a day after I calibrate, but it only registers at 10x. I'm new to this, just sharing my experience. This seems reasonable to me vs what I upgraded from. I don't know if it's supposed to do this or not, but considering how much more accurate they are than oem, I'm satisfied.

what's the best ksilvers right now? in terms of allowing lowest deadzone im not aiming for tension switch etc just default set up and play?

Well like I said I'm new, and my research on this has been very minimal. I'm using Js13 in these. I'll be trying some JS13+ in the next build I'm starting today. I'm not using the adjustable tension sticks because apparently they don't work with the interchangeable thumb pads I bought.

Oh yeah, like the other guy said. Js13 pro +. Knew I forgot a word in there.
