GF MKIII + SCG issues

[aklambda]

I am having an issue with my Gunfigther MKIII + SCG-L Premium.

Recently when playing, buttons would not register on the joystick and the twist axis was also not recognized (basically everything on the SCG grip). X and Y Axis (from the Gunfigther base) were recognized without problem. This happened randomly and would sometimes persists for a couple of minutes. Restarting the joystick via the vkbconfig software made it work again for a bit.
I tested the buttons and everything in vkbconfig and it seemed to work fine. Going into a game it was working fine for a bit and then stopped working.
I had similar issues a while back where when I did full deflections with the stick, sometimes it would no longer be recognized (grip only) and the SCG status light changed. But as soon as I would let go of full deflection, stick would come back working normally.

I think this might be a connection issue between the Gunfighter base and the SCG-L Premium grip. But when I looked into vkbconfig there were no errors reported. I also tried reseating the grip and it is indeed very tightly screwed on top but the issue persists.

Do you have any suggestions on what to try or what the issue could be? I am still suspecting connection issue but how could I verify that 100% and how could I solve this?
Thanks!

It is indeed a connection issue between grip and base. Try to gently press on the grip while tightening the fastener for better contact. If this fails please submit a service ticket to your vendor and attach pics with the contact points on the base and grip, as you might need replacements for those.
