DXTweak - Fix your Analogue controllers Dead-Zone under Windows

[TheBlueRaja]

Hi All,
Any of you that have an Analogue controller and use the Windows default drivers will know that there is no such thing as a Dead Zone - this means that if you use your controller to play a game like Need for Speed (in my case a Play.com PS2 Adapter and a PS2 Dual Shock Controller), your car may veer off slightly to the left or the right etc without you doing anything because Direct X will pick up ANY signal from your controller as an input no matter how small.

This can really be a bitch in some games like the aforementioned need for speed, but help is at hand.

Go here:-

Download the exe and run it - then follow the instructions on how to setup your pads deadzone, save the setting and have them load on startup.

This works a treak on an issue thats been bugging me for ages.

Hello TheBlueRaja. I was going to download this app, until I noticed on that page they mention the deadzone calibration feature is broken in XP. The page is probably old, so I was wondering if you or anyone else knows whether or not the Wingman Team has fixed the deadzone feature for XP users?

Surely the Wingman joypad/controller works with "Logitech Profiler". You can change deadzone/sensitivity/range in there. As far as I know Logitech profiler supports most of logitechs controller/joypads
