So I bought two Pelican G3 Wireless GC controllers (PL-7055) recently. The packaging says they are Wii functional. At first the controllers seemed to be working fine, but now there's a problem.
It's most noticeable when there's a cursor on the screen (like in SSBM). If I press lightly to the right the cursor will start moving to the left. Only if I press hard right does the cursor actually go right. Also, if I push lightly to the left the cursor zips left... so there's no real control.
I've tried all of the standard things. I obviously restart my system without touching the analog sticks so the problem isn't them being set in one mode. Actually if I don't touch the sticks they don't go anywhere.
I've also tried using only one at a time (thinking the signals were crossing or something), but I get the same problem with either of them individually.
I'm surprised because everyone seems to love these controllers and has no trouble with them. It would be odd for me to end up with two faulty ones with the same problem so I assume there's a solution on my end. Pelican has told me I can send them in for free replacements, but I'd rather not do this if something else is causing the problem.
