Troubleshooting

Fightstick not recognized by computer:

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to a working USB port. Try a different USB port or restart your computer. Check Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS) to see if the device is listed.

Buttons or axes not responding correctly:

Calibrate the fightstick within your game's controller settings. If issues persist, check for updated drivers on the Logitech support website. Ensure no other conflicting input devices are connected.

Inaccurate control or drifting:

Recalibrate the joystick. Some games may have deadzone settings that can be adjusted to compensate for minor drifting.

Windows 10/11 compatibility issues:

While generally compatible, some users report issues. Ensure your operating system is fully updated. Refer to Logitech's support page for specific driver updates or compatibility notes. Disabling 'Core Isolation Protection' in Windows Security might resolve some issues for Windows 11 users, as reported by some users.
