Need help with Logitech G940 joystick (auto-center spring)

[AbortedMan]

Yeah I understand the control surfaces thing, but after the initial "break" and loss of calibration, it would do it at random times as well, such as level flight while firing guns...anything that activated the FFB "shake."

I can't find this happening to anyone else on the interwebs through google searches. It may be a bad sensor/motor. Also, when I set my profiles up to "apply profiles to games automatically" any keyboard binds that I assign to the stick/throttle are inoperable. This is a bummer because I cannot bind my TeamSpeak PTT key to a joystick button, so I have to assign a joystick button to "shift", which doesn't read unless the profile is in globally persistent mode.

When it works, it works effing great. This stick is a Godsend. There's so much more involvement in what your aircraft is doing when FFB is configured correctly. I feel that if I have to limit my settings to something sub-optimal then that warrants a return/new stick.

Finicky software this bit is. Poor execution, methinks.

I think I may return this stick and get another G940, I may have gotten a bad apple...unfortunately my local electronics store had only one left when I bought it, so I may have to wait a bit.

You can't assign ptt to a button? Now that is weird. Mine is the big red 'fire' button.

There's obviously something amiss there, but I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions.

I know that I did have some software issues at first which took some sorting out, and I'm still pretty convinced it'll be something to do with software rather than the stick.

Such a shame when crap like this spoils your fun, eh?

P.S. This is really obvious, but you have made 100% sure of all connections? Tried a different usb port? Made sure it has a dedicated port and not thru a hub? Sorry again if patronising!
