The best controller settings for F1 23: Control settings, calibration, and more

These controller settings are useful, regardless of whether you are a first-time or returning player. Moreover, if you have played the previous game, your old controller setup may not work properly in F1 23.

Generic Settings

  • MD Car Setup Panel: Default
  • Trigger Vibration: On
  • Overtake ERS Mode: Toggle
  • Adaptive Triggers: Medium

Control Settings

Select your controller and choose Edit to see all the button mappings. It's recommended to just keep the standard button mapping. However, you can tweak some settings that will be very valuable for you in F1 23.

  • Unbind the Look Forward, Back, Left, and Right buttons.
  • Bind the Look Back button with something you're comfortable with to look back while racing.
  • Brake Bias Increase: R →
  • Brake Bias Decrease: R ←
  • Differential Increase: R ↑
  • Differential Decrease: R ↓

Calibration

You have to calibrate the controller to get the maximum performance. The game brings improved traction and a new Precision Drive Technology that makes driving easier for controller users.

If you find yourself struggling with traction, braking, or steering, then make adjustments to these calibration options.

  • Steering Deadzone: 0
  • Steering Linearity: 30
  • Steering Saturation: 0
  • Throttle Deadzone: 0
  • Throttle Linearity: 20 (adjust to your personal preference)
  • Throttle Saturation: 0
  • Brake Deadzone: 0
  • Brake Linearity: 30
  • Brake Saturation: 0
