Logitech Joystick

last year i bought a Logitech Wingman Extreme digital 3D joystick, after much use it began to lossen up and now it has gotten so bad that i cant even fly. The main problem is in the twisting handle because no matter how many times i calabrate it, it still wont work right.

So i was wondering if any of you had this joystick and knew if there was some way to tighten it or have any tips.

i have the same one, and it has become quite loose for me too. interested to see if there is a solution.

If you look on the right side, there is a little indent, if you put a screwdriver in there and turn to the right a little, it tightens the twisting handle. Also, if you look where the throttle is, all the rivits around there, take an alan wrench and open it up, maybe you can find the solution in there.

They dont last forever---I have both, 1 with force---the twistlock in/out is a half screw you couldnt have missed when you calibrated it---maybe you have exceeded its lifespan for action---mine are years old and still work OK but I aint using em daily...

Get ahold of Logitech---ive had them replace more then one item when it "quit working" for FREE...
