Is it possible to patch out the Deadzone on 360 please?

That's MS limitation, deadzone is done in X360 drivers.
So write to MS (even hardware manufaturers can't do anything here).

Thank you - I suspected it would be MS to blame since the deadzone exists in the 360 Controller for Windows drivers too.

I'll go pester them

So there will always be a deadzone in the game?

I posted a request on the 360 hardware forum here: http://forums.xbox.com/29045789/ShowPost.aspx so just head over there and voice your support for the idea if you don't want a deadzone.

I posted on the Xbox forum as well, but knowing Microsoft, I don't expect this to change any time soon. I just may end up picking this up for the PS3 as well if it looks like it handles a better range of sticks. If the Ace-Edge works on the PS3 with no deadzone, I'll be rocking.

EDIT- it looks like this probably won't work since the Ace-Edge doesn't work with the XMB. Thanks for making your crap proprietary, Microsoft!

I just made a post since I noticed its been quietly drifting to the bottum of the page. This really needs to be addressed.

Wait what? I have Hawx and that had major dead-zone issues which UBISOFT patched out on 360. So how come now all of a sudden it cant be done?

I agree, there's no need to have a deadzone. get rid of it.
