About This Calibration Check

Measure first, then fix: know exactly how far off your sticks are.

Centre Offset

Average resting position and noise for both sticks.

Range Check

Minimum and maximum reach on each axis.

Non-Destructive

This tool never writes calibration data to the controller, so it cannot brick it.

Start in 3 Steps

01

Rest

Leave the sticks untouched for 3 seconds.

02

Rotate

Roll both sticks around their full edge.

03

Apply

Use the suggested deadzones in your game or Steam Input.

Does this change my controller?

No. It only reads values. Firmware-level recalibration is risky and not offered here.

What should I do with the numbers?

Enter the inner and outer deadzones into your game, Steam Input or DS4Windows.

My range is below 0.9

The stick may be worn or blocked by debris — try cleaning around the stick base.
