My Space sim stick disconnects frequently from GF IV base

I have this constant issue that my stick is disconnecting from the Gunfighter IV base. The only way I am able to fix it is to remove the stick and install it back. I though revision C connector should fix the issue, but for me it is significantly worse in comparison to my GF III base. My GF IV base space stick is with Z Axis.

I am always tightening it as much as possible to ensure proper fixation, but it still keeps happening. Any advises are highly welcomed.

Thanks.

It's possible that the power plan has the USB device disconnect mode enabled, please check this setting.

Thanks for your reply.

It does not seem to be the reason as all my joysticks and pedals connected to usb hub and the only joystick that gets disconnected is this new GF IV with a space sim stick.

It seems to me that revision C connector on the base should attach the stick father with a magnetic force, but it only really does it when the rubber piece at the bottom of a stick is removed. But then the farther connector is getting out of the stick which, I believe, should not happen.

Another issue is that dust cover touches the stick and interferes with Z Axis. There should a possibility to set the rubber piece lower but when I do it the X Axis is blocked and I can’t move it to a full extent in X direction.

First, follow the instructions here. It's difficult to pinpoint the cause based on words alone; more information is needed.
