Gladiator MKII Centering Problem

[Mark_uk]

Hi,

I was playing a flight sim recently and noticed the plane would drift to the side on its own, I tried another sim and I had the same problem, its as if the stick wont center properly.

Things I have done -

Updated firmware to v2.115 which I think is the latest version?
Set to defualt in the Vkb config tool
Calibrated stick and saved configuration.

I noticed in the test section under tools, If I move the stick to the right on the X axis it returns to center at 32767 but If I move the stick to the left on the X axis it does not return to 32767.

I was wondering if this is a hardware issue ?

I think the gimbal would need regreasing. Best for that would be Nyogel 767A or PG-44A. Here's a video showing how to get to the internals.
Until then you could try increasing the deadzone on the X axis in 0.5 increments (the feature is on the Profile/Axes/Logical Axes and you'll have to press Set button after setting up the new deadzone).

Thanks for the advice I'll give those a try.
