This article was previously published under Q194142



SYMPTOMS
If you assign an action in a game to a button on the Microsoft SideWinder FreeStyle Pro, the action may be assigned to the X or Y axis of the game controller.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the SideWinder FreeStyle Pro uses a motion sensor to assign actions to X and Y axis movement.

If you move the controller while you are assigning an action to a button, the action is assigned to the X or Y axis instead of the button.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, disable the motion sensor on the FreeStyle Pro before you assign an action to a button. To do this, press the Sensor button on the FreeStyle Pro.

NOTE: When you are finished assigning actions to buttons on the FreeStyle Pro, press the Sensor button again to enable the motion sensor.



MORE INFORMATION
The light on the FreeStyle Pro is red when the motion sensor is disabled and green when the motion sensor is enabled.
