Calibrating Controllers

If the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad does not respond correctly, or if the control sticks of controllers in
general do not respond correctly, follow the instructions here in order to perform calibration.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

Calibrate the touch screen using the Wii U GamePad option in System Settings on the Wii U Menu. If you
are unable to operate the Wii U Menu using touch controls, you can use the Control Pad and the A Button
instead.

Calibrating the Control Sticks

The Left Stick and Right Stick of the Wii U GamePad are analogue control sticks. The angle and direction of
these control sticks are read by the controllers to allow you to perform precision controls. When the control
sticks are not tilted in any direction, their status is referred to as the "neutral position".
If the control sticks are tilted in any direction when
performing the operations listed below, they will
be misrecognised as being in the neutral position,
causing them to function incorrectly:
Turning the power to the console on
Starting software
Closing software and returning to the Wii U Menu
Calibration (Resetting the Neutral Position)
To reset the neutral position, stop touching the control sticks, then press and hold the A, B, + and – Buttons
for at least three seconds.

Calibrating the Motion Controls

If the screen moves during play even though you are not operating the Wii U GamePad, or the movement of
the screen does not match the movement of the Wii U GamePad correctly, then go to the HOME Menu and
hold the Y Button and the B Button for at least three seconds. When the calibration screen is displayed, place
the Wii U GamePad on a flat surface, and select CALIBRATE or REVERT TO DEFAULTS.
· After selecting CALIBRATE, please make sure the Wii U GamePad is placed on a flat surface.
