I have the $50 Xbox controller, which I like, but the joysticks sensitivity is way too excessive, and it has no way to adjust it, at least in its own settings. The $200 one has that adjustment, but there’s a huge problem with it; it’s 200 bucks. And Xbox doesn’t have anything in between, it’s either you get crazy sensitivity for $50, or you can adjust it for $200.
I have to believe that with so many Xbox style controllers in the market, there are a few that come with their own app that allows fine tuning.
Also, I assume that not every Forza user plays the game with the racing wheel, so this question is for those who use a controller. Does anybody know of a decent controller, $60 tops, that has that type of fine tuning either with its own app, or perhaps using the controller itself, like the ones that have 3 or 5 presets for vibration?
Sorry, I tend to type posts that are way too long so this time I thought I’d keep it more simple.
That app is useless for the regular Xbox controller. It’s only good for the $200 one, and for another one that is totally different from the normal one.
I wish Microsoft just stopped the BS with this controller, which is not cheap at $50, and enable that same curve for it. I’m sure that the $200 is more sophisticated, but a curve can be applied to the $50 one just fine. Especially if it’s a slower curve, because you set the software to take longer to reach the full left or full right.
For example, if when a user moves the left joystick from dead center to full left it takes, to put a number, 0.2 seconds, then you set the driver to extend all the X and Y points between the two positions to be 0.3 seconds long. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist, I bet any programmer can do it.
The fact of the matter is Xbox controllers are extremely sensitive, and I’m far from being the only one saying so. Two days ago I got an EasySMX X15, and I can tell the difference, even if this one also doesn’t have sensitivity adjustment.
Unfortunately the X15 lacks the screenshot button. It does have said button but only works with Steam, so I need to find a controller that has sensitivity adjustment but also the plain screenshot button that every Xbox controller has.
