Win10 trouble with Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

[JtD]

Some time ago I got a new computer with a Windows 10 OS. Since then, every time I boot up the system, my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick is out of calibration, somewhere left (~360 out of ~1000 - clearly not the centre). So before I play, I need to calibrate the stick. I've tried Logitech software for calibration, I tried updated drivers, I've tried calibrating as an administrator (which would be BS because my standard user should have all the rights needed), different USB ports - no change. I boot up the computer, and need to calibrate the stick before playing. Same happens on my other Windows 10 computer. If I plug the stick into my ancient Windows 7 laptop, it works OK without any calibration, never mind a need to recalibrate every boot up.

 

Why does Microsoft think that 360 is half of 1000?

Can anyone give me a hint how I teach Windows 10 to do what I want, i.e. keep the friggin calibration until I, the user, decide to re-calibrate?

 

Since the stick is quite old, I wouldn't even mind buying a new one, but I'd go with a current version of the same stick. So what would be the chances of a new one working OK in Windows 10? Is there anyone using the same stick with Win10 trouble free?

I had a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro until about a year ago and I did not have those issues (using Windows 10). I was using Logitech Gaming Software (Logitech Profiler) v5.10.127 (64 bit version).

 

This joystick has a particularity with calibration in joy.cpl: you have to start joy.cpl, then select that device (the joystick), then hold Ctrl+Shift and click on Properties button. Only then you can calibrate it. There are no hints about the need to hold Ctrl+Shift while you click on the Properties button. You have to know it.

 

Since you wrote that you made the calibration, I am assuming you know about this, but I wrote it , just in case someone else find it useful.

 

You could also try DXTweak2, to see if it helps.

 

If you end up getting another joystick in the same price range, better look at T.16000M instead.

I went via set up of gamecontroller and didn't use ctrl-shift. Calibration worked only until reboot.

 

Now that I did what you wrote, I rebooted and it's still OK. Thanks a lot!
