Anyway to disable pressure sensitivity on controller triggers?

[Miso Hjörny]

I'm using a Hyperkin "Brave Knight" controller on my PC, and while it's a good controller the left and right triggers (R2 and L2 since it also doubles as a PS3 controller) have very weird pressure sensitivity. When I push on the bottom part of each trigger it only registers as about half press, and the only way to register the input as a full press is pushing down a little hard on the middle part of the triggers.

My question is is there anyway to remove the controller's pressure sensitivity or at least make it more sensitive so I don't have to press down in a certain way just to get inputs recognized fully?

P.S. I know I said it's also a PS3 controller but on PC it's recognized as an Xbox 360 controller, so I'm not using any 3rd party software like SCPToolkit to use it.

test it with joy.cpl
and calibrate if needed

Use Steam Input instead of SCPToolkit.

Different actions can be assigned to a partial and full press of a pressure sensitive triggers in Steam input.

I've messed with it a little bit, though how do I calibrate it so only a partial press is recognized as a full one?

I said I'm not using SCPToolkit... but I'll check out Steam Input too

steam -> settings -> controller -> [general]
iirc there is a test utility and calibrate

config them in [bpm/desktop/chord]
and library -> select game -> controller config

I know how to get to the controller settings, just need to know how to make every trigger press recognized as a full press

you can set the deaszones on the triggers
may need to do that for each game, or save a profile with it set and apply it to each game

I found a different setting rather than a deadzone option, but thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

For anyone else who might have this problem this is what I did:

In your game's controller config, select the trigger you want to assign as a full press at all times and change their "mode shifting" setting to "left/right trigger full pull" :) I also have the "trigger response curve" set to "custom" and cranked all the way up just in case.

Is this controller new, or it has some age to it already? Just sounds to me like a crappy controller if you have to push only on a certain area of the triggers, which basically wouldn't happen on an XBO or DS4 official controller.

It's about a month or two old, it might just be the way it's built. The triggers are more like PS2 buttons than later DualShock triggers.

The controller is also already showing signs of analog drift too which also kinda sucks but I already know how I can maybe fix that. It was only $20-ish but I did kinda expect more out of Hyperkin

For something cheap but decent enough, look at...

PowerA Xbox One wired controller

Logitech F310 wired controller

Logitech F710 wireless controller with usb dongle

Only thing I know of really that might be cheaper and still do well is Xbox 360 wired controller. If you can still find official MS ones and not China clones.

I'm gonna wait and try to get one of those remade Duke controllers at some point. I don't play TOO many games that need a controller so I'm not in much of a rush, and even then I can deal with the issues with this controller for now. Just the really weird pressure sensitivity throws me off in some games and like I said I might be able to fix the analog drift

I thought about one of those Logitech ones though, however they seem a little on the small side.

Steam controller settings or X360CE.

Do you own any game consoles?

Sony and Microsoft pump out millions of controllers and have an economy of scale that makes a third party controller $80 just to get on the same level and still make a profit. I bought a 360 controller years ago and other than the rubber on the left thumbstick being gone (which I don't even notice), it's perfectly fine.

I get it, budgets, real life, etc, but a good controller disappears in your hands and becomes an extension to you. A bad controller where you're wrestling the buttons is a speedbump to immersion. It's honestly better to do without.

Yea my Xbox 360 controllers still work very well, even the ones that have gotten years worth of use. The sticks can be replaced. I take my controllers apart every 6-12 months or as feel the need and clean them full and lube the axis areas of the sticks that are close to the PCB area. It has helped alot to do that.
