Trouble with Mayflash Controller & R/L triggers

So I've been trying to set up my GCPad settings on Dolphin through my Mayflash Controller (Dual) so I can play some netplay, but I've been having a lot of issues with my R/L triggers. They're extremely sensitive to even just a tap or touch and they set off. That isn't even the worst part, when the triggers are pressed sometimes (I think it happens when one is not pressed in succession with the other trigger, mb...) the command ?sticks? and ends up being read as still pressed (normally this means a random roll or shield when I play). I have to then click them once or twice to "unstick" them, but then the cycle repeats.

I've tried switching controllers to no avail so it's not that. I'm worried it might be the Mayflash controller because the driver is reading THIS when it sticks, which leads to believe the adapter is screwy.

Here's my GCPad configuration... (image of when the R is sticking) http://imgur.com/6dPrCjq
NOTE: The R and L also stick together sometimes as well

Any advice or help would be truly appreciated. I've been having trouble with this for about a week now T.T

EDIT: tl;dr R/L triggers are extremely sensitive to even setting the controller down on my desk. What's wrong? Is it my GCpad settings or the Mayflash adapter?

First make sure you uninstall the crappy mayflash drivers, they suck. Go to the link in my siggy and go to the faq and download my Dolphin controller settings

What's wrong with the mayflash drivers?

Well I uninstalled the drivers and am using your configuration file, but I still seem to be getting the same issue.

Also I just noticed that pushing the triggers on the flat back side horizontally seems to also cause the sticking (i.e. wiggling the triggers in their base) - this happens for all of my controllers. This happened before though..

Mayflash drivers are badly designed and Windows drivers are better, the only thing they offer is rumble. They also cause Dolphin to crash on Windows 8.1.

So you're sure nothing is wrong with your controller? What do you mean by it happened before? Post a pic of your GCPad settings without touching your controller please.

It happened before I uninstalled the drivers and used your configuration file. And I'm sure it's not the controller, I'm currently using a brand new one. I'm gonna try using my laptop in a bit to see if it's that, but it might just be the adapter. what could possibly cause it to be overly sensitive on the triggers? I should not that it only sticks on the comp part way, so the sticking never causes me to air dodge, for example.

Can you post a picture of your GCPad settings while your controller is at rest?

This is generally how it looks during rest (imgur.com/Pv0CFbC), but honestly it can vary from all triggers being read as pressed (only ever to light shield though) or just like the image. This can all change depending on how I wiggle the triggers horizontally. I suspect the adapter is just being uber sensitive because this is happening with all of my controllers.

Did you try uninstalling the drivers? I believe I actually vaguely remember having this issue.

Okay I figured out the issue! I had to reset the settings to default after I uninstalled the Mayflash software. I think it was using the same janky driver settings that were causing the issue in the first place.

I really appreciate all the help man, you're freaking awesome!
Let's play some PM through netplay sometime ;D
