PC Gamepad Issue

Hi, I'm trying to switch over from PS3 to PC, but I'm having a problem with the way the gamepad handles. On PS3, I can hold the control stick anywhere within a V-shaped area to move directly forward/sideways/backwards, but on PC, this area is extremely tiny and impossible to hit consistently, so I am constantly swerving in one direction or another. I get this same result with two different controllers (PS3 and Xbox 360), I've adjusted sensitivity and tried calibrating it both in the game and out of it, and I've messed around in Xpadder and BetterDS3. I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but I can't figure it out.

the difference between circle and square ranged analog controller logic.

try SCP-DS3

No change, sadly. Thanks though.

Did you calibrate it in the Windows API?

(Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers), right-click controller icon, go to Game Controller Settings, then Properties, the Settings tab, then click Calibrate.

Windows may not be setting the proper range of motion for it if you haven't.

Yes, I've done that as well.
