Settings

(1) Trigger

On the Trigger page in Settings, adjust the press sensitivity of the controller’s LT/RT buttons when using Full Travel Trigger Mode.
You can also hold down LT/RT on the controller to view the adjustment range in real time on the screen.

(Note: Full Travel Trigger Mode can be adjusted using the trigger travel switch on the back of the controller.)

(2) Stick

Adjust the joystick response range in games on the stick page in Settings.

Use the drop-down menu to select Linear, Rapid, or Gentle mode, or click and drag the anchor points on the curve to customize joystick sensitivity.

Linear: Move/Aim at the same rate as the navigating stroke of the joystick.

Rapid: Faster and more responsive Move/Aim.

Gentle: Move/Aim within a fine input range of the joystick.

Dead Zone: Prevent your view/movement from drifting when you are not touching the joystick.Joystick movements within the set range will not trigger any analog response (shown as the yellow area in the image below). A smaller Dead Zone allows for better aim control.

Outer Threshold: Determine how far you have to move the joystick to reach maximum input. The value will affect joystick sensitivity. Joystick movements reaching the set value will trigger 100% analog response (as shown by the blue dashed arrow in the image below).

Invert X-axis/Y-axis on the joystick: Invert the up-down or left-right directional controls to match the player’s preferred input orientation.

Using the back button settings, you can assign the functions of other controller buttons to the back buttons.

Using the back button settings, you can assign joystick sensitivity profiles and enable quick switching during gameplay via press actions.

(Note: While playing, holding down a back button assigned to a profile will automatically switch the joystick to the corresponding sensitivity. Releasing the assigned button will restore the joystick to its original sensitivity.)
