Ultrastik 360 - Analog Values Issue
#312756 - 08/12/13 09:04 PM


I have two, new Ultrastik 360s controllers which appear to be having small problems.

To test them I wrote a programing using DirectInput (via SlimDX managed extensions) which reports their basic states as you move the stick or press buttons. I set the edge values at 1000 so each axis should report a value between -1000 and 1000 depending on which direction the stick is pressed.

The first joystick will consistently report 1000 when pressed completely up or left but will only report values of about 940 or less when pressed to the right or down.

The second joystick will never report values of 1000 when pressed completely in any direction. The x-axis ranges from -950 to 840 and the y-axis ranges from -850 to 900.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening?

Send an email to andy at ultimarc's. Might be a quicker solution to your problems. Support questions go over mail, if I recall correctly from the description of the Board..

I'm having the same problem in Unity, was there ever a fix for this?

Probably magnet is not centered correctly. Recent models have magnet stick with glue so it might a bit off from joystick axis. I have the same issue. I remove magnet and stick it once again, additionally friend shorten up lever a bit for better play in shmups. After this centering a bit better but still not perfect.

And it won't be. Nature of the beast....though a different stick base design, that 'hard-centers', might help.
