Our Maxx Utility is a powerful and user-friendly application designed to enhance your MaxxStick experience. It allows you to easily customize your joystick to match your unique gaming style, with a wide range of controls and options at your fingertips.
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.
Our joystick is a versatile USB device that works with most games by connecting to your computer in different ways.
Since every game has different settings and ways of using joysticks, keyboards, and mice, we’ve created three compatibility modes to ensure you get the best experience.
Please try all of our modes to see which one is right for your game.
Advanced Game Mode lets MaxxStick function like an Xbox controller in many modern games, including Fortnite. Enjoy full console-style control for an immersive experience.
Basic Game Mode lets MaxxStick work just like a keyboard—no extra apps needed. Just plug in, choose your keys in our Maxx Utility, and update your game settings to match. It’s as simple as that.
Classic Game Mode is ideal for older games and systems like Linux and MacOS. It’s hidden by default and needs to be activated in the Maxx Utility.
To ensure you can use the MaxxStick fluidly within Fortnite, the following user settings need to be enabled.
In Fortnite Settings -> Mouse and Keyboard Tab -> turn off “Ignore gamepad input” and turn on “Lock input method as mouse”.
As you joystick spring will wear, you may need to adjust the deadzone in game. Go to controller settings and increase the Left Stick Deadzone as required.
The joystick button is mapped to controller button A. In Fortnite, you can remap the action of controller button A by going to the Controller settings, choosing custom controller binds, and remapping button A.
