How to Resolve QRD Spark N5 Joystick Drift

How to Resolve QRD Spark N5 Joystick Drift

Some players may encounter joystick drift while using the QRD Spark N5 controller. This issue is often related to the joystick cap misalignment or the automatic calibration of the Hall Effect joysticks. Below are two simple steps to help you resolve this issue and restore normal usage:

Step 1: Manually Adjust the Joystick Position

Due to long periods of shipping, the joystick cap may become loose from the Hall sensor inside the controller, causing the joystick to drift. We recommend manually adjusting the joystick cap to ensure it is correctly aligned at the center.

How to Perform:

1. Disconnect the Controller: First, disconnect the controller from the console or any device.

2. Remove the Joystick Cap: Gently pull off the joystick cap from the joystick.

3. Adjust the Joystick Cap: After removing the cap, slowly rotate the base of the joystick cap either clockwise or counterclockwise for 3-4 turns. Make sure there are no unusual looseness or resistance during this process.

4. Re-align to the Center: Once the rotation is smooth, ensure the joystick cap is aligned to the center, then gently press it down to secure it in place.

 

Step 2: Automatic Joystick Calibration

The QRD Spark N5 controller uses Hall Effect Joysticks technology and includes an automatic calibration function. When the controller is powered on, it automatically calibrates the joystick position. To ensure accurate calibration, we recommend not moving any buttons or analog sticks during the first 2-3 seconds after the controller is turned on. If the joystick drift persists, you can manually rotate the stick a few times to assist with calibration.

How to Perform:

1. Power on the Controller: Turn on the controller. Connect the controller to your PC/PS4/PS5 via USB-C cable or Bluetooth.

2. Do Not Touch the Joystick: Do not move any buttons or analog sticks for the first 2-3 seconds after the controller is turned on, as this can lead to calibration errors. You can also try rotating the stick clockwise or counterclockwise a few times to help with the automatic calibration.

3. Manual Calibration Assistance: If the issue persists, gently rotate the joystick clockwise or counterclockwise a few times to help complete the automatic calibration.
