Fix: Exchange the G940 repeatetly at Logitech, or fix it yourself as I did - thereby loosing all warranty).

Issue 2 is the so called Reversal Bug. It still exists on all axes (all 3 trims, rudder, throttle, R1, R2) except the stick x and y. You can live with that (I can't) or fix it creativly as he did - and me, too)

Bingo!

There is also a 'spike' in the rudders that may be related to or the same as the reversal bug.. Thanks for the link to the reversal bug fix.. Good ol Leo and his BU0836!

I used his BU0836A (12bit) USB board at work to build a few force sticks (not force feedback but force sensing like the new Satic stick) that work great! Only problem is it will show up as a separate joystick.. but what with all the problems with the G940 that may be the only way to go.. Has to be the worst joystick I have ever bought.. I did do you issue 1 fix and it helped a lot but R1 and R2 still get a little noise when I move the throttle but nothing like it was at the start.. My fear is as time goes by it will get worse again.. If it does Ill most likely port it over to the BU0836A or trash the whole thing and make my own.. Long story short (too late) if your not savvy with regards to taking things apart and messing with wires and/or you don't have a lot of free time on your hands.. STAY AWAY FROM THE G940! It is the worst $300 I have ever spent on PC game hardware
