Controller deadzone is too big, bad customization

I play a lot of different racing games on PC and most of them give plenty of options to customize sensitivities, deadzones and linearities for the left stick.

0 minimum deadzone in FM7 should mean 0, not this:

Yes, nothing between the center and this is registered by the game.

Keep in mind that the deadzones might be different (bigger) compared to Xbox before you comment. The PC version uses the default xinput deadzones, (even tho it’s using a updated API), which feels last-gen.

Zero dead zone is most likely to not centre. Try something higher and if you need to go too high it suggests an issue with the controller.

Completely agree. It really affects turn-in response, although I’ve gotten used to it now. Still a bit frustrating. Since the default dead zone on the inside is set to 15 instead of 0, I don’t see an issue with them making it so when you have it set to 0 it’s actually 0.
