How to disable left thumbstick on xboxone controller? <Resolved>

[⚜️CatSocietySempai⚜]

I'm using an xbox one controller and i fear its thumbstick is getting loose of a bit, causing the game to receive direction-up when i don't touch the stick at all. I googled for ways to reduce the stick's dead-zone sensibility but i found nothing really relevant. Tried to disable the stick in game but i haven't seen any menus proposing that so i thought maybe somebody else faced the same situation and successfully resolved it which would really help. The annoyane is real when the character starts jumping without any reason or when the menus starts to slide up endlessly. I rarely get this issue in games but when it happens, it's a real annoyance. A solution would be more than appreciated!

I feel your pain - I have a 360 controller that was battered due to this game. Add to that fact that I have played most of my hours solo using Kenshi, I now have a bias to the left.

There's a few suggestions here for you.

1) Do you have an alterative controller like a PS (DS) 3 or 4? They are set-up better for fighting games I have found. You can probably get a licenced clone for around £20.

2) From what I understand of the game it will read both analogue and digital inputs as equal. More like the old school way controllers used to work.

3) There's mixed reports about Keyboards. I have little experience with a keyboard so I can't offer advice there.

3) How's your soldering? A pair of replacement rockers are pretty cheap - -around £5 for a pair. This video might help you out a little if you are prepared to do the fix yourself.

The stick is far from being "battered" but it have a slightly too sensible dead zone
And yeah, i totally dislike other type of controllers. I use an xbox controller because it's the model that suits my hands the most. I can't afford to get an elite controller but anyway, a friend of mine had an elite controller and it turned into scrap in less than a year. Rubber pads peeling off and buttons becoming sticky... Like i said, it's really the dead zone that is too tiny, i would need a software that enlarges it... Windows's calibration utility is way too archaic to achieve this part. I would somehow need an advanced driver or something.
About mortal kombat, i never played such games with thumbstick, it's uncomfortable because it's way too slack to be able to precisely do  [< >] or [v < ^] or stuff like that, all it ends up doing is corner arrows and these aren'T good enough for moves to engage while d-pad is times more precise for the purpose. lol... So i would kind-a need to disable thumbsticks but only for mortal kombat x)

It's a second-hand gamepad also, i had to fix the left trigger once, with double-sided tape to hold the magnet in place x) Was quite an experience to get there. Didn't have the screwdriver to open it whole so i had to craft some kind of a scythe out of a food can and stick the magnet to it through the holes under the removable plastic covers x) That was jackass as heck xD

I just bought Grim Dawn, the game has gamepad support and the cursor stays right in the middle the way it should... that's why i say my gamepad is far from being battered. It's either mortal kombat that is too sensible, either windows that would need a more advanced calibration utility tho

I resolved the issue, i've used the controller calibration utility in STEAM's "BIG PICTURE" mode that i haven't ever seen outside of bp-m and it applies to games too, which is great! https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/img_588262fbcd883.png
