Gladiator K grinding on return to center?

[Zetarra]

Hello all,

I just bought a Gladiator K, and calibrated it. I've noticed that when the joystick returns to the center position when rolling left or right, there's an audible and tactile grinding noise as it returns to center which sounds like it's coming from the base. I am unsure as to whether or not this is part of the design, or an issue with the stick. Has anyone experienced this issue?

Open it up and see if there's something in the way of springs or cams. If everything looks fine and the grinding doesn't affect its functionality give it some more time - Gladiator has a plastic gimbal and it'll eventually settle.

Gotcha. I'll give it a look and see if I see anything. I figured it may be just because it was new but wanted to be sure. Thank you!
