I got my zwift play mid-february.

Right from the beginning, I had:

very often left controller stuck on steering left

a few times left controller stuck on downshifting

but I had also some sessions where everything was fine

in the last 2 weeks or more, I ALWAYS have

left controller stuck on braking AND right controller stuck on shaking as soon as I shift.  
actually last 2 days left controller was stuck on braking AND steering left (ok no effect since I couldn’t move…) AND right controller stuck on shaking.

checked firmware, seems to be updated

tried reset a few time (why there’s no feedback on that?)

thank you for help

Hi @Paolo_delma_Delmastr

Thank you for reaching out to the Forums! This is Haziel from Zwift. I really appreciate your issues with your Zwift controllers.

It’s great to hear that you’ve already verified your firmware is up-to-date and have tried resetting it. To help you resolve this, let’s take a closer look at a couple of things. It’s essential to ensure that both controllers are [calibrated](https://support.zwift.com/en_us/calibrating-your-zwift-play-SkhHFu8Uh). I also recommend following the steps outlined to [Connect Your Zwift Play​](https://support.zwift.com/en_us/connecting-your-zwift-play-Hkj2iEbrn#:~:text=Check%20that%20your,then%20select%20CLOSE)​.

When you have a moment, please try unpairing the controllers and then pairing them again one at a time. This can really help ensure that each controller pairs successfully. Also, make sure the batteries are fully charged at 100%. Once everything is paired correctly, you can connect your trainer.

I hope this information is helpful, and if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to [contact us](https://www.zwift.com/eu-es/contact-us)
