0%usable range kept
-stick registers

A deadzone is the region near the center of an analog stick that a game ignores to stop drift, but a large deadzone also eats into your usable range and makes fine aim feel dead until you push past it. This calculator shows how a given inner deadzone, and an optional outer deadzone that clamps the maximum, reshape your stick output. Enter the deadzone percentages and a raw input value, and it returns the remapped effective output using the standard rescaling that most games apply, so a stick at 20 percent physical tilt might register as zero or a much smaller value depending on your deadzone. It also reports the total usable range you keep. Understanding this helps you set the smallest deadzone that still kills drift, preserving precision. All math runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded, so experiment with values and find the deadzone that feels responsive without wandering.
