When you move your thumb, your MaxxStick should move your character in the exact direction you expect. Since everyone holds their joystick a little differently, we need to set the correct Forward Direction so movement feels right.
Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Open the Maxx Utility and go to the Calibration Tab.
2️⃣ Push the joystick forward in the direction that feels right to you.
3️⃣ Click “Change Forward Direction” button to save your setting.
Now, when you push forward, your character moves where you actually expect!
The MaxxStick Ergo has three different modes. Choose the best mode for your game.
⚠ Some games, like Fortnite, allow controller + KBM inputs together. Others don’t. If movement feels off, try switching to Keyboard Mode in the Maxx Utility.
To use MaxxStick smoothly in Fortnite, adjust these settings:
Fortnite Settings → Mouse and Keyboard Tab:
Remap the Joystick Button (A) in Controller Settings:
Websites like our Maxx Utility (and Gamepad Tester) will not recognize MaxxStick movement without changing a flag in Chrome.
Your joystick movement will now show in our Maxx Utility.
