VKB Gladiator mk2 flight stick won't allow screen to sleep

Well, I've been given another way out of this by luck.
A friend of mine gave me an upgraded 2nd monitor (17>19"), it's button works fine so I just switch it off!

The problem's still there though. But I won't be burning anymore time trying to find a fix (it's likely a driver problem, joystick or a win10 USB driver problem, or both), it doesn't seem like their is a fix atm anyway .

Couple of days ago I noticed that one of NXT's (not Mk II's) rotaries was giving an input signal constantly. Not sure whether the rotary was defective or smth was not correct in stick configuration. Anyway, I thought it could be a reason for keeping the screen on. So I disabled the rotary completely in VKB app. Nothing changed. The screen was still on. Then I unplugged Mk II and tried again. The screen got to sleep with no issues.

So, one stick gives some random input and it doesn't prevent the screen from sleeping. The other one is dead silent but prevents the screen from sleeping.

It's magic!

Yea I found the same (sometimes), no uncommanded inputs from the Glad mk2, yet the screen wouldn't sleep.
Yet sometimes when the CH pro throttle was jittering the screen would sleep! But not always! wth?? I never found out why it sometimes did or didn't sleep there. And both have 'wake up' abilities disabled!
