Joystick doesn't center after the upgrade
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2022 10:05
Hi.
I already opened a ticket with the #8494 but since it got even worse the last days I wanted to post it here to ask people for help.
I own the regular Gladiator NXT and bought the upgrade kit to EVO. My old GNX worked like a charm but I wanted the dry clutches.
So I did the upgrade exactly like in the youtube video. But after that I recognized that my joystick doesn't center correctly anymore. Especially on the X-Axis, but the Y-Axis too.
I tried everything, re-calibrate it, using stronger springs, loosen the dry clutches, because I thought that they cause the problem because they could be too sticky and don't let the stick return to center.
But that didn't help. The problem just got worse if I tightened them up. But also if I loosened them completly the problem still occurs. Also in fact the dry clutches aren't really that sticky. I have to tighten they almonst all the way up to get kind of that stickyness, that I had with my old GNX Gimbal. The stickyness is also not very well balanced. If I push the stick forward it moves way slower back to the center as if I pull the stick back.
As you can see in the attached picture, the stick doens't return to the center (32767) and stops way before it. If I push it into the other direction it kinda centers but ingame it is almost impossible to give precise inputs like that.
In the VKB config software you can also see that there is like a mechanical deadzone, where my inpput is not even recognized.
So I guess I maybe have a broken product? Or am I doing something wrong?
