Joystick woes

[Lunar Sea]

I got a joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) to up my game but I've found it is not as responsive as the keys, sluggish, and worse yet causes SAS issues. The SAS problem is probaby the worst part. I'll notice the heading is drifting, even with SAS on. If I set to Prograde or such, it settles (kind of) on a point about 20 degrees below the marker. It's kind of intermittent but happens on a regular basis.

Even without the SAS problem it's hard to control craft as it seems to take forever to recover from small inputs, and this is with plenty of reaction wheels going.

I've played with dead band and sensitivity settings but not really having any luck. Suggestions anyone?

 

I have a fair number of mods going but none I think should affect this, and it happens with stock craft.

That is strange. Maybe try to recalibrate your stick in windows? Speaking of which, how does the calibration look? You know, that little window that shows you the actual input values? Is the cursor stable or twitchy or something?

The Extreme 3D Pro should work fine with KSP. But it is notorious for having some play around the deadzone, as many other joysticks of the same price segment do.

Also keep in mind that SAS is correcting your rotations for overrotation etc, so the little orange input markers in KSP can show some weird things sometimes. Try without SAS enabled, just a pod sitting on the pad, and the little markers should mirror your stick movement pretty perfectly if all is well. The behaviour you describe sounds a bit strange indeed.

I hope you can work this out somehow, a joystick is a very nice thing in KSP.
