Stick deadzone for single stick axis not working as expected

I'm using 'Left Stick/Y' for a menu and noticed that it repeats the 'started' if I slightly touch the stick. I tried playing with the deadzone but it didn't change anything until I chose 'Analog' for control type, but that's just going to only giving a value at 0.5, so I think analog probably isn't the right thing. This serves my purpose, more or less, however, the 'started' event keeps happening even while in the deadzone (and giving value of 0), but I wanted to use 'started' as the first time the stick was properly used
