Broken 360 controller needs a dead zone

[Chris is me]

It's generally good practice to add dead zones to Xbox 360 controllers. They don't consistently return to any particular center point.

Well yeah I guess it works fine with all my games except fallout 3 for some reason and minecraft on my computer. Those and my program are the only things it leans right on

What I'd do is use the in range and coerce function, and then either return zero or the value with a select. Remember to do it for each axis.

That´s because the videogames are the ones who manage the dead zone, not the console or the PC by themselves.

Videogames like Fallout, Deadly Premonition, etc, didn´t manage the dead zone at all, so if your controller is slightly "broken"... well, s**t happens.

It´s a very common issue with the Xbox360 controller, if you are too rough playing (but there are FEW titles which don´t manage the dead zone, so chances that you never notice your controller is broken are high).

New and well conserved controllers work fine, so if you are not able to manage the dead zone, you can always buy a new one...

I've noticed this on our 360 controllers, and for this reason I will encourage our team to use something like this as an FRC gamepad in the future.

If drivers weren´t a problem, this would be nice:



So beautiful... It´s for a "mecha (giant robot of massive destruction) simulator" for the Xbox1, Steel Battalion.

And back to the real world... if you dont like the 360´s just try Logitech gamepads, those are fine too.
