[SOLVED] My buttons on a controller are all misplaced

[Marin31327]

Recently my ps3/pc controller started getting stick drift and I read online that I can clean it from the inside. I did that but when I plugged it in my buttons were all registering incorrectly. For example left stick was controlling the Dpad , triggers were getting registered as button a and x. I have another controller the same type that I haven't disassembled that gets registered as an xbox 360 controller by default. But this one now gets registered as a trust gamepad. I use the trust gxt 540 yula. Im not sure if I did something wrong or is it a software thing. How do I fix this?

Are you able to re-calibrate the PS3?

Are you able to re-calibrate the PS3?

I was trying to calibrate it through windows device manager but that doesn't really make a difference since when it says to press some button but when I press it I can see that it is triggering a totally different button. It's kind of weird to describe but they are all completely mismatched. I'm not sure if I specified I am using that controller for my PC I don't own any consoles.

You need to use the applicable calibration tool/utility.

E.g.:

There may be other options depending on the details involved.

Google "how to calibrate PS3" to find additional tools and options that match the current environment and controller.
