Analog Thumbstick too sensible.

Post#1 » Wed May 17, 2023 9:45 pm

Hi all

Im noticing that one of my two dreamcast controller analog thumbstick are very very sensitive almost making unplayable any game.

Is there a way to calibrate it or something simmilar?

Thanks!

Apparently there are two types of analog sticks found in Dreamcast controllers - one with metal components and one with plastic - and apparently the metal ones can deteriorate over time? Best to open it up and take a look - you can clean around the components with some isopropyl alcohol while you're in there, which might help.

If your analog sticks are working in a 'sensible' fashion, then I want one!
