Joystick Tab

 
The sensitivity the joystick is adjustable.  This tab allows the user to change the sensitivity of the joystick's movement in each of the four directions by sliding the indicator to control how far the joystick needs to move to generate a 100% output signal to the corresponding output.  The closer to the center the four sliders are, the most sensitive the joystick will be.  In the center, the size of the "dead-zone" can be controlled.

Joystick Axis Range of Motion

Center Dead-Zone

3. Center Dead-Zone
The dead-zone is the distance the joystick needs to move before it generates an output signal greater than 0%.  If the dead-zone is too small, the natural small variations in the position the joystick when it is released, or when the user slightly touches it can cause unwanted outputs.

Joystick Preference Settings

9. Joystick Preference Settings
 
These are the actual preference settings that are calculated from the Sliders that go into the prefs.csv file.  If a configuration requires a mode with unique joystick preferences, these values can serve as a starting point.  For instance, to make a mode sheet have a less sensitive joystick, add a preference row with "joystick_deflection_maximum" with a value greater than the global value:
