FFXIV controller camera control going nuts.(constantly hugging the ground)

[Drako]

A) Faulty hardware. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "FFXIV controller," was there some specifically branded USB gamepad for FFXIV or is it just some generic USB gamepad? I'd double check that the drivers for the device are properly installed.

B) A software conflict. Some other software could be continually sending the same keypress signal as whatever the analog sticks send. Do you have any sort of "homebrew" controller software installed to either custom map keybinds or something like Motioninjoy to use a standard PS3 controller as a PC controller? That stuff typically is the culprit with these kinds of issues, I know when I tried motioninjoy myself it gave me a world of issues and side effects even after uninstalling.

I've had this issue consistently every time, sense day one. I've certainly had a lot of instances where i had nothing else running in the background. But I have checked many times. If it was some other app imputing the signal, you'd expect it to happen without me touching the controller or when im not playing with it. If i play with the keyboard and move the camera around i don't have any issues.

C) Is there some sort of calibration settings in the gamepad driver/software? If its reading the stick being centered as the stick being physically held down in a certain direction, when the stick is where it physically rests it'll constantly be sending an "up" signal even though you're not touching the controller. You might need to reset the calibration to let it know where the stick sits naturally.

there is one built into windows, its the one i was referring to when i was trying to describe what it looks like on the calibration screen. It will show you if your pressing a control in a certain direction, and indicate how much pressure in that direction. The camera control, is going down, and the pressure is random, its not a solid press down, like you would expect in like a console controller, where you accidentally pressed it down when you turned it on or anything.
