Controller stick-drift observation
Calibrate neutral with hands off, then watch how far the sticks move.
Connect a pad, press any button to wake it, then try buttons and sticks.

Unknown mappings stay generic. Neutral drift is an observation — not a model-specific fault threshold.
Details and limits
How to check
Wake the pad, take your thumbs off the sticks, press calibrate neutral, then watch deviation against the deadzone slider.
Limits
Mapping, wireless lag, battery, and surface affect readings. This does not replace manufacturer calibration.
If something feels wrong
If deviation looks high, try another USB port, a wired link, or reconnect, then calibrate again.
FAQ
Outside the deadzone means broken?
No. The threshold is only your observation aid.
Is calibration required?
It makes comparisons easier with hands off. It is not a mandatory procedure.
