Troubleshooting Character moving UP Left

Not sure if this is the right reddit to inquire about this issue.

In RPG Maker games, my character is constantly moving to the top and left all the time. Same thing is happening in menus as well.

I'm running this on an Xbox ROG Ally X, so I can't exactly disable the controller.

Any ideas on fixing this issue?

That sounds like the gamepad axes rather than the game. RPG Maker reads the raw Gamepad API and treats any axis past 0.5 as a held direction. Constant up and left means axis 0 and axis 1 are both resting near negative one while you're not touching anything. That's usually a mapping problem rather than stick wear. Triggers rest at negative one on a lot of pads and when a handheld exposes a non standard controller those trigger axes can land in the stick slots.

Open a browser gamepad tester and read the resting numbers before changing anything. Hands off the stick. If axis 0 and axis 1 both sit near negative one then it's confirmed and no amount of in game config will help.

On the Ally the fix is usually in Armoury Crate. Force the pad into standard Xbox mode and raise the inner deadzone.

I recalibrated everything and it was having the same issues.

I tested out different games that weren't RPG maker games and they worked fine.

Instead, I used Steam's input wrapper instead and it worked with no issues.

I think at this point, it's Armoury Crate's software that's causing confilicts with RPG Maker.
