This thing has started developing the same annoying problems I've had other joysticks eventually suffer from: every axis has a insane amount of "jitter" despite me not having shanky hands (I'm not that old yet) even the throttle wheel jitters at a complete stand still; and the "TOP" button (which is the button just below the hat switch, identical in appearance to both "THUMB" buttons on the left and right) spontaneously doesn't register me pressing it and then rapidly strobes as if the switch itself is faulty.
The bottom of the joystick base has a big "ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO" sticker on the bottom and also this too: "FLIGHTSTICK PRO USB FSPUSB SN: 20111" and a small sticker that says "214343 APEM" on it. And the infamous "WARRANTY VOID IF SEAL IS BROKEN" going across a crease of the base on the side where the cord comes out.
I assume for the axis problems I need to either thoroughly clean the potentiometers or solder completely new ones? Not sure what to do about the "TOP" button, the other two buttons and the hat switch appear to work fine.
This joystick is also not heavy enough and flies all over the place as I'm trying to use it, is there a way to make this thing "heavy" so it can't be so easily pushed and flown across a surface during use?
