MCG Pro- twist adjustability

Postby Simalacrum » Fri Apr 02, 2021 13:47

Can the twist on the MCG Pro be adjusted? Like can it be tightened or loosened?

No, it could only get locked.

I have an MCG Ultimate. I assume the answer is the same?

I find there is too much resistance on the twist - it takes a lot of effort to turn, and the shape of the grip makes it prone to slipping on that axis. To twist with precision I need to tightly wrap my hand around the grip, which means I can't use the buttons/hats/ministicks at the same time.

Is there truly nothing that can be done about this? Not even adding lubricant or something?

Sorry, I've provided the wrong info above - MCG Pro DOES come with a spring that could replace the default one in the twist module. MCG Ultimate doesn't, because it's heavier.
Installing a softer spring on an Ultimate would induce twist unintended activation, when just handling the pitch and roll.

Thanks. I think I would prefer the occasional small unintended activation, compared to not being able to twist properly in a heated situation where I'm using the other controls at the same time. Is there any way I can try out that softer spring?

You could get it as special order; write to sales@vkb-sim.pro and request quote for it. The shipping would be expensive for a spring though...

Follow-up: after a lot of experimentation I ended up writing a guide on how to remove or replace the twist spring on the MCG Ultimate.
