so im currently using a left joy con and a mouse for controls and it is working great except one small problem, i have a lot of drift in the joycon and wow is the only game on my laptop or switch that has drift. it makes it literally impossible to play a caster class. i tried using the steam controller mapper to calibrate it and it doesnt seem to fix the issue. does anyone know of an in game way to increase the deadzone?
My condolences.

my man, it works fantastic for melee classes really right now, if i didnt have the small drift that comes and goes weirdly it would be perfect. i would highly recommend it if they can fix the drift issue. the joycon has 11 buttons to keybind to and my mouse has 9 but i only use 7 so theres plenty keys
Sounds like the joy sw just isn’t playing nicely with WoW. You could look for an addon to help with mapping/configs, but I’m not sure such a thing exists. ConsolePort would be the closest thing I can think of, but I don’t think it maps joy con.
i couldnt get console port to work properly, when i tried using it would only recognize one of the joycons(whichever connected to my laptop first). but if only connected the left one like i am now for movement it would act as if the joycon was turned 90 degrees and controles would be weird
You could submit a ticket describing the problem. WoW does have built-in controller support now, so one would think they’d have a stake in making it work with as many controller types as possible.
I’d be genuinely surprised if you didn’t just get a canned response and a link to their support site, but who knows? Won’t know for sure until you try.
I think the issue with the Joycon is it is really half a controller. It probably messes with whatever they are using to support controllers.
A ticket is a waste of time as GMs have nothing to do with this at all. Post in tech support or submit a bug report.
There is no point in bloating the ticket system with more pointless submissions.
i really think wow just gets rid of the deadzone, because its very short how far i have to move the controller to stop the drift
Wait. Are you using game pad mode while using a mouse? Or is the joystick set up to be 4 or 8 directions?
i have no idea what youre talking about
Interesting. Sounds almost like there isn’t a deadzone set up.
I use a similar setup. I have an Azeron in my left hand and a mouse in my right.
The joystick is used to move my character. It is setup in a 4 direction WASD. I do not experience drift with my joystick.
WoW has in game commands for gampad mode. AFAIK if you enable it it prevents free mouse usage, but with it on it allows for 360 movement with a joystick.
well my mouse works no problem, where is a list of commands i can see
I think this thread has most of them.
Are you certain is a software problem and not a hardware one? Like have you tested the controller in other games or otherwise verified it can’t possibly be the hardware itself?
Like Nintendo Switch joycons apparently have a useful life of like milk before drift just becomes a natural gameplay experience you passively just come to accept and account for.
yes i stated in original post that wow is the only game this happens with, and these are brand new joycons from the oled switch i just got
Nintendo Joycons are notorious for drift. It is so bad, that they will usually fix/replace the Joycon for free if you contact them.
it doesnt drift at all on my switch or other games,read my post
Maybe try a different software? The software I use to control my keypad lets me set my deadzone.
Having you tried calibrating them within windows?
I don’t know if it works with joycons as I use a ps4 controller and ds4windows
