Step 10: The "Sensitivity" can be adjusted.
The window has a section called "Configure Binding".The right and left buttons will increase and decrease in sensitivity, if they are moved to the left.Sensitivity can be adjusted for all buttons, but it is most effective on stick movements where partial button presses will register.If you want to set a window where a partial pressing of the button will register no input, you can use the "Dead Zone" slider.
Step 11: If you don't want to, adjust "Turbo"
The "Configure Binding" section of the window has a "Turbo" button.The button is held down so that it is easy to press.This is a good setting for games where buttons must be tapped repeatedly, but will interfere in situations where the button needs to be held down consistently.
Step 12: Click on the option to "Delete Selected".
Click the button below if you want to remove a specific binding.You can clear all of the binding by clicking on it.This will remove all of the binding that is set for this device, not just the default binding.

There is a radio in the upper left.If you connect multiple gamepads to your computer, this value needs to be changed.Automatic emulation of a PS2 controller can be done with Xinput.On a PS2 controller, the buttons will be mapped to the corresponding locations.Xinput does not need to be downloaded separately.You can switch the two functions with the swap buttons in the Misc category.
Step 22: The stick directions should be adjusted.
You can change the left/right and x/y axes of the sticks from the lower right section.If you want the axis setting to be consistent through all games and menu functions, make a change here.

The amount of space that will be ignored when moving the stick should be moved to the right.The decrease will be to the left.If you want the software to try to ignore deadzones already implemented into the game, you can use the anti-deadzone button.Each stick uses its own Deadzone sliders.
Step 24: The rumble settings need to be adjusted.

The changes will be reset back to their original settings.These don't need to be changed again since the binding cannot be adjusted.
