Troubleshooting
Joystick Drift Issues
While the Hall Effect joysticks are designed to prevent drift, improper connection procedures can sometimes lead to temporary drift. If you experience joystick drift, please follow the solution below:
Video demonstrating the cause and solution for joystick drift. It shows that pushing the joystick while connecting wirelessly can cause drift, and reconnecting without touching the joystick resolves the issue.
Solution: When connecting wirelessly, ensure you do not push or touch the joysticks. If drift occurs, disconnect the controller and then reconnect it, making sure the joysticks are in their neutral position during the connection process. This will recalibrate the joysticks and resolve the drift.
