Ps3 wireless afterglow controller left analog stick only makes things move down

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Computers to PS3.

The controller is wireless and connects to the PS3 using the USB Dongle that plugs into the USB Port on the PS3.

How do I pair my Afterglow Wireless controller to my USB dongle?

1. Plug the new USB dongle into your PS3.
2. Now, press and hold the Home button (power button) on the controller until the LED on the USB dongle and the 4 indicator LED's on the controller are solid.

there is a sync button somewhere on the controller and the usb thing you plug into your Ps3, pres those at the same time continuosly put make a 2 second break untill it connects.

You plug in the usb cable to charge the controller and connect it to the ps3 for the first time. You use the left analog stick to move around the dashboard when the ps3 is turned on and the 'X' button to change settings, go to the online browser, playstation store, or start a game. You can back out by pressing 'O' or holding the 'PS' button, which allows you to change a controller number (say controller #1 to #2 with two controllers), turn off the system or turn off the controller. Press (not hold) the controller to look around the dashboard while in a game and select say "Quit Game', or go into settings and change something around to your liking. Every game also comes with the controls and for what the buttons are. (Stick on left is the, "Left Analog Stick," right is "Right Analog Stick," from right to left starting at the green triangle shaped button is the, "Triangle," "Circle," "X," and "Square," buttons. The four buttons on the left going in all directions is the D-pad, and the triggers on the back going from the top left to bottom left and top right to bottom right are, "L1," "L2," "R1," "R2").

I'm having the same problem. I can't find any answers and can't even find the company who makes it. I'm hoping there's a way to reset it?

Sometimes your joystick on xbox controllers can become stuck. To fix this you can do one of two things. you can ether buy a can of air used to clean out computer keyboards and spray it inside the analog stick. Sometimes if that does not work you can also disassemble your controller with a t8 torc screwdriver. Ones disassembled use hot water on and below the analog stick to get rid of unwanted grim. This should fix the problem.

You have to go through the game settings and ensure that you have set the primary control to be done by the left analog stick. In other words, make sure that you have the left-analog stick as the tool to move your player around while playing the game.
Also, if that doesn't work, there is a possibility that your left-analog stick is somehow jammed and as a result doewsn't perform the right function.
This could be a factory fault or one that arose as a case of mis-management. Whatever your result is, kindly let me know.

I've gotten mine to sync fine just follow the steps but press and hold the sync button for like 5-10 seconds. To be honest the best thing you should do is to refund it because mines already broke, cat knocked it over and now I have no vibration..... I've had it for less than a day, both analogue stick move by themselves in game which to me seems like the f*cking thing is demonic and sucks hardcore playing online.Also the sticks arent sensitive they'll jump over things when you move them and add the automoving analogue sticks that your constantly fighting with just makes things like hell Save your money for a higher grade model!!!!

the circular thing that lets it move freely probably cracked, making it harder to move. i had to buy a new controller because of this reason.
