Control Sticks not mapping properly

Unity Engine

Hi all, I’m trying to add controller support to my game
atm I have two axis for each movement axis, one to handle keyboard and one for controllers

-1 would move backwards, 0 is rest and 1 is forwards
on keyboard this is just fine, but when using an Xbox controller the movement axis all default to -1 instead
Does anyone know why this is and/or how to fix it?

Thanks

Try setting dead zone for the joystick axis to something like 0.2

Wait. Why is the sensitivity at 1000???
That’s most likely why

Both dead and sensitivity would lead to that result. Sensitivity is at 1000 so the keyboard key will return +/- 1.0 instantaneously when pressed instead of ramping up and down in value over a fixed time (axis simulation for keyboard keys). But that setting will cause problems with a joystick axis.

With a tiny dead and huge sensitivity, any value received on the axis would be magnified to 1000x and be clamped at -1/+1.
