Can recalibration help when the controller is connected to a Playstation? Does it store the calibration somehow in the controller? Or is this only useful on a PC?
I'd love to somehow restore my PS5 DualSense that's fallen victim to stick drift. I looked once in Steam's debug info and instead of the stick reading 0 at center it was reading about 20,000. Given the max is 32,767 I've lost 2/3 of the useful range, so maybe there's no fixing it with software.
Yes, that's the point! I suggest to try calibration in temporary mode (center calibration has a checkbox in the wizard). See with https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad if the controller is calibrated correctly, in that case redo calibration in permanent mode. That flashes the calibration in the controller.
DS4Windows is a decent tool for the dual sense, I think they have an offset you can configure while using it on PC but it wont store to the controller itself..
The CH Mach III looks tight!
I was messing around with a DOS game Sword of the Samurai and was wondering what types of sticks were being used by enthusiasts at the time since that game supported a joystick.
What kind of things were you playing with that when you purchased it new? I'm in this industry in no small part to watching my brother play Descent with a joystick in the 90s. I think his was made by the same company - F-16 Flightstick. I remember it having suction cups on the bottom though
New would have been Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer various EPYX sports games (e.g. Winter Games & California Games) A bit later would be Wing Commander and Traffic Department 2192. Even later (besides several Wing Commander sequels and spinoffs) Tyrian, One Must Fall 2097, and Duke Nukem 3D (keyboard & joystick instead of keyboard & mouse).
That works quite well, but I had to repeat it a few months later. I recommend cleaning also the other stick as the plastic in the DS4 casing can break from opening it too often.
