Missing Rubber Feet on NXT

Postby stucutting » Tue Jan 19, 2021 3:56

I received my amazing NXT Premium left stick on Friday but after assembling it I found it was missing the rubber feet that my other NXT standard has. The stick is fantatic but hard to use properly at the moment as it keeps sliding round all over the place also due to being a lot stiffer than my other stick until it loosens up a bit. I put in a ticket (#4027) on the 16th but I don't think it has been looked at yet. Is this something that can be sent to me so that I can start using it properly?

After taking apart my old CH gear a bunch of times I used to just replace the rubber feet from a pack of stick on bumpers I picked up at a hardware store. You get a bunch of them for cheap. They'd usually work ok but eventually they'd either pop off or they'd just become less grippy even after cleaning them up. I'd just replace them with another from the pack. If I had to go in and mess with it again, another set of bumpers as the screws were all underneath them.

I found something way better than the rubber bumpers. I got a sticky rubber pad used for sticking a cellphone on the dash of a car. Found it on Amazon, there are several. It works tremendously well! The pad is a soft rubbery material that is just sticky as hell but doesn't use an adhesive. I don't know what it is that makes it stick but it's great stuff. Put it where you want, put the stick (or in my case throttle) on it and it's going nowhere until you pry it off. If the pad gets dirty, no problem! You can just wash it, dry it and reuse it. It's like new. Doesn't leave any sort of residue either. Pull it off and it's like it was never there. It's been a while since I bought these but this looks like what I got.

No denying something like that shouldn't be missing from a new item but this is a substantial upgrade anyway.
