    I have a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Digital joystick. It works great for most games. But for some older games that don’t have in-game dead zone (null zone) settings, the drift is pretty bad. If I try to leave the joystick centered or make small movements close to the center, the targeting reticule bounces around unpredictably or drifts badly.

    Is there any software (official or legit aftermarket) that can be installed to enforce universal dead zone settings? The drivers for the actual stick don’t have any dead zone settings included. Any other suggestions on how I can control the drift?
