Windows 10: Why does my PC think the joystick is being pushed up?

Joystick problem with my E70

anyone got his phone back from service?

After turning the joystick around all directions it got better but wasn't solved. It really seems to be a hardware problem. If you push the joystick you feel it "clicking" and if you release it you feel it, too. But if you push it, keep it pushed, directing
it down and release it you don't feel the release anymore. I think the contacts for pushing and for the downwards direction are so close together that pushing the joystick activates the "down"-contacts...

Hi boulos_mansour,

An incompatible driver may cause the device to not work properly on Windows 10. I suggest contacting your device manufacturer to get a Windows 10 driver for your device. You may also try using your PC joystick with other games to see if the issue persists.
If this only happens with certain games, resetting the game's controller setting may help to solve the issue.

Regards.
