Xbox for PC Controller - It Keeps Moving Left

[Dave494]

Hi

When you move the controller left, sometimes the character will KEEP MOVING LEFT by itself.

The controller is correctly calibrated in Windows and in zsnes.

I'm using Windows 10 and I also experienced this bug when I was using Windows 7 (both 64-bit).

I don't have this problem with any of my Steam games or other emulators.

Please help.

Cheers.
PS This is my first ever post, so not sure if I've done/said everything right on here?

This actually an XBox controller, or is it a 360 or XBox One controller?

In any case, it sure sounds like the stick isn't returning exactly to center. I believe ZSNES has a very small deadzone, so if a stick doesn't center perfectly, the emulator will (correctly?) respond as if the stick is not centered, which it technically isn't. The more worn the controller is, the more likely this is a problem. And my understanding is that XBox controllers tended to have loose sticks to start with, though I never noticed it personally.

Thanks.
It's a 360 controller for PC.
I've ordered a new one. When I get the new controller I will see if that fixes the problem in zsnes, or not, and reply. It seems fine in all other games like Dark Souls II.

It was the controller after all.
Since using my new one I've not had this problem.
Thanks for the advice.

Yeah I had the same problem on an actual 360 where the analogue stick would constantly go down a little bit, irritating me.

Those things are really badly made I guess.
