Accelleration Button Issue for Mario Kart Games

Hello, I am having an issue on my PC where I am playing either Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Double Dash or Mario Kart 64 Wii Channel version on Dolphin 5.0 & 5.0-17269 x64 versions. When I am holding down the accelerate button it will lose the signal or it seems to think that the button has been released for a moment which will slow down the player, when I hold items behind me they remain and do not fire off without me releasing the button no matter how long I hold it. The issue just seems to be with acceleration.

I also use Dolphin 5.0 on my android phone and this issue is not happening and I tested out Mario Kart 64 on RetroArch on the PC and it does not have that issue.

I have been using the same controllers and have tried it single player and multiplayer. I have tried using just the Game Cube controller option as well as using just the Wii emulated controller with the classic controller extension and it happens with either setting. I tried two versions of Dolphin as well as the different pairing modes for the 8Bitdo controllers and it is still an issue. Is there anything that can be done? Huh

I included screenshots of all my settings as attachments.

I’m having the same problem on Mario Kart Wii. I thought my controller had an issue

After some controller diagnostics, it appears that it is the controller, My girlfriend was using the SN30 pro and said it was giving her issues so I tested it and it is fine. the SF30 Pro though is my most used and is at least 5-6 years old and just started to have drifting issues with the left thumbstick shortly after making this post.
