Hardware Strange pro controller joystick issue

[wimble]

Hello,
I have a strange issue and wondered if anyone else had experienced it?

In some games where how far you move the left joystick determines how fast the character moves (e.g. Watch_Dogs, Xenoblade Chronicles X), I've found that when the character is moving straight forward they will not move at max speed even if the stick is pushed all the way forward.

This doesn't only happen if you are viewing the character from behind pushing the stick forward to move them, but also if you move the stick right, for example, and the character moves across the screen.

In directions where the character is not moving directly North, South, East or West, behaviour is normal

Try resetting the neutral position by holding down A, B, +, - for 3 seconds (the sticks have to be in the center position when you do this)

Too bad you can't tell nintendo that is a "Joystick drift" problem so they will fix it.

I know about the AB+- reset. In fact I have to hold the stick back a bit and then do this which at least gets the North direction working.
