Xbox 360 controller seems to be misbehaving

u see mode button here? some controllers have MODE others have ANALOG button different name same thing

what it does is in digital mode you have only 1 analog working and its locked to 8 directions
in analog mode both of analogs works and both have kinda smooth detection of where you are moving them which is 360 degree

in digital mode some buttons can work as analog and vice-versa that is common bug in window
and what you describe happens to me with some controllers which i have 11 in total

i need to press MODE/ANALOG button to switch it to analog mode since they start in digital mode
but some controllers start in analog mode and then i happen to press that button by accident and im back at digital mode

i assume if that is your case you could press that button and from that can ur problem be coming

maybe its that Xbox button on the center sometimes this button is on the back of the controller but if neither of it is truth and does not solve your problem than im wrong and you could ignore all stuff i wrote here

i dont own xbox controller so i cant tell how it works i just have experience with regular controllers
