Is it safe to pull the thumbstick hat off or was there a glue applied when it was assembled? I imagine it should just come off by pulling straight away, but I really don't want to damage the underlying mechanism.
Since the bottom of the hat hits the joystick body in certain position, I was thinking of just taking the hat off and using a dremel to removed the lower ring (serves no purpose) to give it the clearance required to make full travel.

Re: Pulling off the thumbstick hat
My bad, I left out 90% of the details. I'll blame that on it being late at night.
Talking about the left hat above thumb-rest that is round in shape on the MCG.
1 - Gladiator Pro MkII with MCG
2 - Firmware 1.94C (not that it matters)
3 - #40 springs
4 - The good cam (light center)
5 - Dev Config 0.87.05
6 - not needed
7- not needed

No glue. One HAT has screw. Others can be pulled. Carefully!)

Re: Pulling off the thumbstick hat
I took the hat off, and other than it flying across the room it was easy. Slides back on easy too, just have to take care of the rectangular shaft's orientation. I shaved off some of the ring on the underside of the hat and it no longer contacts the main body in the corners. Perfect!
