Was this twist always or did it work fine? Update the firmware from here and attach your profile.

The device is only 3 weeks old.
But i guess this issue only happened since a week.
I will update the FW and come back with result

Mine usually works fine but it happens every now and then especially in the heat of a dogfight (of course) it gets stuck into "roll" (as I have mapped the roll to the twist of the stick) and I can't do anything aside from unplugging it quickly before I get blasted into pieces :D

A custom profile is a profile file after settings and calibration, saved by the Load button in the configurator.
Please do not crop the screenshot of the configurator window.

Ok. Updated to "_BlackBox_GF_MCG_PRO_Twist_v2_05_0.vkb"

That makes it even worse.
After default and calibration:
Axis Z is moving from 0 to 43316 (not 65535 anymore)
And is stuck 10 times more often then before.

I did now a single calibration for Z-Axis, that made it go from 0-65535 again.
More than 5 complete calibrations before did not work

With new FW its not possible to play.
Z-axis stucks in both directions. Sometimes its possible to 'wake it up' by turning and turning, sometimes only restart helps.
And i don't think this is a HW problem.
If axis is stuck, i can start single axis calibration and move complete range.
After calibration is finished, axis stucks at 65535 again.

Do you have an orange BlackBox? Choose the correct firmware - for the black plastic BB you need with the letters MK2 in the name.

No, my black box is black...
And as you can see in my first screenshot, i never had an MK2 FW.
Not from the beginning.

And if you reset and calibrate all axes? Your ministik is not calibrated.
