# Spektrum InterLink DX Configuration Guide

## Guide for Windows 11 Game Controller Calibration

If Zephyr is not reading the full range of motion for your Spektrum InterLink DX's sticks, the most likely cause is the controller needing to be calibrated for Windows. Please follow the steps below to get your controller calibrated.

{% step %}

### Plug your Spektrum InterLink DX directly into one of your system's USB ports

Plugging the controller into an external USB hub can confuse the system and/or Zephyr when it comes to reading your controller correctly.

### Press the "Windows" key, type "game" in the search bar, and select "Set up USB game controllers"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### In the "Game Controllers" menu, select "InterLinkDX" and click "Properties"

Click the `+` below the step numbers or hit `Enter` twice to add another step to your stepper block. You can remove or change the style of the step header or step body if you wish.

### On the "InterLinkDX properties" menu "Test" tab, please verify the following:

* Your left stick reaches all four corners in the X Axis / Y Axis box
* Your rear left slider reaches the max and min for Z Axis

* Your right stick's vertical movement reaches max and min for Y Rotation
* Your rear right slider reaches the max and min for Z Rotation
* Your R Knob reaches max and min for Dial
