Moving using controller stick question

Trying to make it so -1 on the axis moves the player left and 1 moves the player right but my script doesnt appear to do anything. I was never able to figure out how to properly do controller support for my last game but I really want to include it this time because people seemed to really want it. I can do the buttons easy enough but I don't understand the axis's. What am I doing wrong?

              if(Input.GetButton("Horizontal"))
              {
                  if(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < 0)
                  {
                      Debug.Log("Left");
                      vel.x = -walkSpeed;
                  }
                  if(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0)
                  {
                      Debug.Log("Right");
                      vel.x = walkSpeed;
                  }
              }else
              {
                  vel.x = 0;
              }
 

Maybe my project settings are wrong?

Name : Horizontal Neg Button: Left Pos Button: Right Alt Neg: A Alt Pos: D Grav: 3 Dead: 0.001 Sens : 3 Snap : Yes Invert : No Type : Key or Mouse Button Axis : x axis Joy Num : Get Motion From all

Please Note : Moving the joystick does not trigger the Debug.Log
