Can someone please explain to me how to adjust deadzones to achieve my goal?

[WhenSmokeClears]

I'm playing on an emulator which introduces some input lag, and want to adjust my deadzone to combat that, so when I move the stick, it reacts almost instantly.

I saw a short video on ReWASD facebook when googling solutions and saw that messing with the Y-axis, effects sensitivity? This setting is too sensitive, as my character in-game moves without me even touching the stick. Am I on the right track by messing with the y-axis, to achieve a sensitive deadzone?

What are some other changes I can make here to achieve this goal?

A detailed explanation of the deadzone tools would be very much appreciated.

Hey there!

The Y-axis would be the "boost" on diagonals, and the X-axis is a level of stick deflection.
This way, it allows to have unchanged inputs on low deflection levels while still reaching the maximum possible square shape at high ones.
