Stuck z-Axes Roll

Postby Argarth » Sun May 09, 2021 17:42

I have the VKB Space Gunfighter Mk2. When I am dogfighting and rolling using the "Rot Z" Axes frequently the Rot Z axes will get stuck rolling left.

I try rolling/ twisting right, but I continue to role left.
When I check VKB Device Config the Rotz Z axes are all the way to the left, and its stuck like that.
Only thing I can do to correct the issues is to click "restart"

Try to reset to default (Default button under Tools tab) and recalibrate.

I do that every time it happens, and it resolves the issue temporary. But the issues just occurs again.

Open up the grip like here and check on the magnet, if it's still in place, close to sensor and with no metal shards on it:

Hello there.
I'm having the same issue here. every now and then the stick gets stuck in zaxis roll (I can notice it only while playing of course). I've managed to unblock it removing the cable from the stick to the black box but I believe this should not happen at all.
I've checked the magnet and it is in place with no metal shards on it.
Anything else that can be checked just in case?

Hi
Same issue here. Checked the magnet, can not find any error.
My device was delivered only 3 weeks ago.
Any advice?

If the axis is stuck in the extreme position and does not respond to turning the grip, but the button under the little finger works - see the connection (pins) of the upper board to the twist module.

Hi
Well, i opened the Stick, checked the cables and connectors. Disconnected and reconnected the small PCB above the magnet and the connector left side of the twist module.
Looks good to me, but did not solve the problem.
The 'little finger button' is working, but Z-axis is at 65535.
It's working again, if i do a reset via VKB Device Config or unplug the USB.

Never changed anything there. Should be default settings.

Instead of Curves, you need Phyzical Axes.
And take the trouble to clarify your configuration according to this post.
