Tags: Joystick, Computer Gaming, Calibrating Joystick

Oh the classic joystick, one of the ultimate staples of the computer gamer. Here is how you can calibrate your joystick.

1.	Make sure your joystick is correctly plugged into the computer and turned on (if wireless). I know it's basic but I have to say it.
2.	Open the Control Panel.
3.	Double click the Game Controllers link.
4.	Find and single click your joystick in the list of controllers. If your joystick is not listed, make sure it is correctly attached and working.
5.	With your joystick highlighted, click the Properties button under the list of controllers.
6.	From the new pop-up window, click the Calibrate button under the Settings tab.
7.	Follow all the directions of the wizard that appears and click Finish when done.
8.	You can also test all the buttons and axes your joystick offers under the Test tab. Make sure all buttons and sliders work before relying on them in an application.
