How to change the Deadzone on the Xbox360 controller?

[ShackAttack12]

what does this actually do? and will it affect the controller on the xbox?

Dead zones for a controller are just that....... input zones that dont provide any output to the game.

So by setting the Right Turn action from (0.0 - 1.0) to (0.1 - 1.0), the game wont read any controller input until you move the stick past the 0.1 mark.

Its great because not all controllers are perfectly calibrated center all the time. It gives you a buffer zone for no turning.

I've done what you said and it only turns to the left. What's wrong with it?

Tell us exactly what you put in the config file.
