T-Rudder MK IV ghost input issue

[blazing]

Dear VKB,

A while ago, I bought a VKB T-Rudder Mk. IV. I like it very much, although I only get to use it once every few weeks due to time constraints.

Last year, the rudder started to show ghost input. Specifically, without input from me, any game will detect a hard left input. I tried correcting the issue by alternatingly giving left and right input, hoping that this would overwrite the faulty input, but it will not. The rudder signal then often remains stuck on hard left for a few minutes. I feel like wiggling the connector cable helps, but that's too inconsistent to be sure.

This only occured very rarely last year. But this year, it's occuring almost every flight. I migrated to another computer in the mean time, so I'm pretty sure the issue stems from the rudder, as all the other hard- and software was replaced.


What's going on there? Is this a known problem?

Try a new calibration.

Also check connection of ethernet cable. It may loose. Check both cable and port on Blackbox.
I suggest use contact cleaner or alcohol and cotton swab to clean it.
And the cable is a CAT 5E ethernet cable. You can replace it.
