yep, this made no sense...
I think that I secretly hope it's software related to avoid the step were I take the screwdriver to open up the stuff, I don't want to mess with my hotas but I guess I won't have any other option if I want to fix this.
btw thanks for the links with the modding solution

New G940 user here...

I recently purchased a G940 and have been plagued by my stick suddenly not responding. It even goes so far as completely wigging out and going full forward/right until I rapidly cycle the joystick around a couple times or lift and hit it on my desk. It's as if the sensors forget where they are while force feedback is active and vibrating and needs a "jog" to get back in place. I'm actually taking my stick back this weekend to exchange for another one to see if I just got a 'bad egg.'

Experience has it that - provided you're still within warranty - Logitech exchanges the whole set without fuss. I know several which even could retain their defective set... Might be worth a try.

On the other hand, to get rid of the reversal bug in the throttle and pedals, one has to mod the set anyway, so....

yep, I read about this mod, but I really don't like the idea of tearing my throttle appart. I can already see myself with loads of plastic parts everywhere on the table, a screwdriver in my hand and tears in my eyes...

just kidding, but I wanted to avoid the "mod" part. But I start to really consider it as I am out of warranty anyway
